Question

5. What are the horizontal and vertical components of a 10 unit vector that is oriented 48

degrees above the horizontal?

Answer 1

Fx = 6.69 [N]

Fy = 7.43 [N]

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must remember that the x & y components of a vector can be determined using the cosine and sine function of the angle.

Fx = 10*cos (48) = 6.69 [N]

Fy = 10*sin (48) = 7.43 [N]
