Question

If One Of The Rectangular Components Of A Force P Is 3P÷5, The Other Component Is?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Other Component Is ± 4P/5

Explanation:

If One Of The Rectangular Components Of A Force P Is 3P÷5, The Other Component Is?

There are two components of ForceP

Pcosα & PSinα

PCos²α + P²Sinα = P²

Let say other component = x

=> x² + (3P/5)² = P²

=> x² = P² - 9P²/25

=> x² = 16P²/25

=> x = ± 4P/5

The Other Component Is ± 4P/5
