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

$\text{Part a.}\\ G_x=G\cos\theta=-8.66\text{ m},\\ G_y=G\sin\theta=5\text{ m}.\\\space\\ \text{Part b.}\\ L_x=L\cos\theta=0\text{ m},\\ L_y=L\sin\theta=10\text{ m}.\\\space\\ \text{Part c.}\\ A_x=A\cos\theta=10\text{ m},\\ A_y=A\sin\theta=0\text{ m}.\\\space\\ \text{Part d.}\\ D_x=D\cos\theta=-10\text{ m},\\ D_y=D\sin\theta=0\text{ m}.$
