Question

How a force can be resolved into its perpendicular components? And also determine
magnitude and direction of a force from its perpendicular vector?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that the magnitude of force, F=10N

We know the rectangular components of a

A

are given by:

Acosθ and Asinθ

Therefore, magnitude of the components of

F

will be 10cos30

o

and 10sin30

o

where, θ=30

o

as given

By putting the value of cos30

o

and sin30

o

the components are 5

3

N and 5N.
