Question

A luggage wagon is being pulled with vector force v​, which has a magnitude of 700 pounds at an angle of elevation of 65 degrees. resolve the vector v into components.

Answer 1

The vector written in its components, by definition, is given by:

`v = lvl (cos ( \alpha ) i + sin ( \alpha ) j)`
Where,
lvl: is the magnitude of the vector

`\alpha`: is the elevation angle
Substituting values we have:

`v = 700 (cos (65) i + sine (65) j)`
Rewriting we have:

`v = 700cos (65) i + 700sine(65) j v = 295.8i + 634.4j`
Answer:
the vector v into components is:

`v = 295.8i + 634.4j`
