True, the definition of "centripetal force" is <span>a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving.</span>
Answer:
(a) θ = 33.86°
(b) Ay = 49.92 N
Explanation:
You have that the magnitude of a vector is A = 89.6 N
The x component of such a vector is Ax = 74.4 N
(a) To find the angle between the vector and the x axis you use the following formula for the calculation of the x component of a vector:
(1)
Ax: x component of vector A
A: magnitude of vector A
θ: angle between vector A and the x axis
You solve the equation (1) for θ, by using the inverse of cosine function:

the angle between the A vector and the x axis is 33.86°
(b) The y component of the vector is given by:

the y comonent of the vecor is Ay = 49.92 N
Streams carry sediment, like pebbles, in their flows. The pebbles can be in a variety of locations in the flow, depending on it's size, the balance between the upwards velocity on the pebble (drag and lift forces), and it's settling velocity.
I say that the answere would be B
