Question

b. A force 100N makes an angle of Ø with the x axis and has a y component of 30 N. Find both the x and y component of the force and the angle Ø.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The y component of the force is 100 sinØ . But given that y component is 30N

so 100 sinØ = 30

sinØ = 0.3

Ø = 17.5°.

X component of force = 100 cosØ

= 100 cos17.5

= 95.35 N .

Y component of force = 30 N .

Angle Ø = 17.5°.
