Question

Force of 4n makes an angle 30 degree with x axis.The y component of the force is

Answer 1

Component of force along the x - axis = 4 cos30 =

Component of force along the y - axis = 4 sin30 = 2 N

Answer 2

Answer:

The y component of the force is 2 N.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on the object, F = 4 N

Angle with the x- axis, $\theta=30^{\circ}$

We need to find the y component of the force. The x and y components of the force is as follows :

$F_x=F\ cos\theta$

$F_y=F\ sin\theta$

$F_y=4\ sin(30)$

$F_y=2\ N$

So, the y component of the force is 2 newton. Hence, this is the required solution.
