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
