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

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

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