Question

the rectangular components of a force 17 newton can be

Answer 1

Answer:

8 and 15 newtons

Explanation:

Answer 2

The Rectangular component of the force of 17N can be 8N and 15N.

Given:-

Force (F) = 17N

To Find:-

Rectangular component of force of 17N.

Solution:-

We can easily find out the Rectangular component of the force by the following steps.

For being the rectangular component of any force,

$({{resultant}}^{2} ) = {(side1)}^{2} + ( {side2)}^{2}$

let, the side 1 be 'a' and side 2 be 'b'.

then,

$( {17}^{2} ) = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2}$

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = 289$

By using Pythagorean triplet, we can infer that

a = 8

b = 15

For verifying,

${17}^{2} = {8}^{2} + {15}^{2}$

$289 = 64 + 225$

$289 = 289$

Hence, the Rectangular component of the force of 17N can be 8N and 15N.
