Question

The force acting on a particle makes an angle of 60° with the positive x-axis. It the
magnitude of the force is 10N What are its x and y - components?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

The X axis component of the given force on the particle is given by the formula : FX=F Cos and Y axis component is given by FY=F Sin

Wherein F=10N given

= angle with X axis =60°

So the components are respectively:10Cos 60°and10 Sin 60° Newtons
