Question

Locow b) Find the two rectangular components of a force of 100 N which is acting at an angle of 60° with X-axis​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rectangular components are $F_{x}$ = 50 N and $F_{y}$ = 50√3 N

Explanation:

Given F = 100 N

          θ = 60°

Component along x axis $F_{x}$ = F cosθ = 100 cos60°

                                                              = 100 x 1/2

                                                               = 50 N

Component along Y axis   $F_{y}$ = F sinθ = 100 x sin60°

                                                               = 100 x √3/2

                                                                = 50√3 N
