Question

What is the x component of this vector: 8 N [North 50 degrees East]?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Force = 8N

Direction = N50°E

Required

x component of the Force

Fx = F cos theta

Fx = 8cos 50°

Fx = 8(0.6428)

Fx = 5.1423N

Hence the x component of the force is 5.1423N
