Question

What do you call the process of finding the magnitude of fy

Answer 1

The process of finding the magnitude of Fy is called vector resolution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a vector with a magnitude equals to F which forms an angle equals to θ with the x-axis, then it can be decomposed into two smaller vectors (Fx and Fy) as follows:

Fx = F*cosθ (placed on the x-axis)

Fy = F*sinθ (placed on the y-axis)

This process is called vector resolution.

Answer 2

Answer - vector resolution

Any vector suppose f if lies at some angle, then

fy = F x cos or sin (theta)

and fx = F x cos or sin (theta)

Process of finding the value of component of any vector quantity is called Vector Resolution.
