Answer:
Explanation:
1) Horizontal component
The horizontal component is related to the magnitude of the force by the cosine ratio:
Where α in the angle (-10º), Fx is the horizontal component, and | F | is the magnitude of the force (17).
- cos(-10º) = Fx / 17 ⇒ Fx = cos (-10º) × 17 = 16.74
2) Vertical component
The vertical component is related to the magnitude of the force by the sine ratio:
Where α in the angle (-10º), Fy is the vertical component, and | F | is the magnitude of the force (17).
- sin(-10º) = Fy / 17 ⇒ Fy = sin (-10º) × 17 = -2.95
3) Form (x,y)
