Answer to Question #229736 in Physics for Gino

Question

What are the values of the components of the 53kN Force directed up to the left at an angle of 25 degrees with respect to x-axis?

Answer 1

Given:

$F=53\:\rm kN$

$\theta=25^{\circ}$

The components of the force

$$F_x=F\cos\theta=53\:\rm kN*\cos 25^{\circ}=48\: kN$$

$$F_y=F\sin\theta=53\:\rm kN*\sin 25^{\circ}=22\: kN$$
