Find the horizontal and vertical components of a force of 120𝑁 that acts in a direction forming a 58° with the vertical.
"F = 120 \\; N" , "\\alpha =58^\\circ"
The horizontal component:
"F_x = 120 \\cdot \\cos 58^\\circ = 120 \\cdot 0.53 = 63.6\\; N"
The vertical component:
"F_y = 120 \\cdot \\sin 58^\\circ = 120 \\cdot 0.848 = 101.76 \\; N"
