Question

Give the Trigonometric Functions and the value of x and y components

1. 30 degrees, West of South

2. 60 degrees North if West

Answer 1

Suppose we have a vector $\vec A$ .

1. $A_x=|\vec A|\cdot\sin30°$ and $A_y=|\vec A|\cdot\cos30°$

2. $A_x=|\vec A|\cdot\cos60°$ and $A_y=|\vec A|\cdot\sin60°$
