Question

1. What are the vector components of the following: Round off your answer to two decimal numbers.

a. G = 10m, 1500

b. L = 10m, 900

c. A = 10m, 3600

d. D = 10m, 360 N of W

Answer 1

a.

$G_x=G\cos\theta=-8.66\text{ m},\\ G_y=G\sin\theta=5\text{ m}.$

b.

$L_x=L\cos\theta=0\text{ m},\\ L_y=L\sin\theta=10\text{ m}.$

c.

$A_x=A\cos\theta=10\text{ m},\\ A_y=A\sin\theta=0\text{ m}.$

d.

$D_x=D\cos\theta=-10\text{ m},\\ D_y=D\sin\theta=0\text{ m}.$
