Question

Two Forces Of Magnitude 20N Each Are Acting At 30 And 60 degree with xAxis the Y Component Of The Resultant Force Is

Answer 1

We can find the y-component of the resultant force by adding the y-components of the two 20N forces.

For a force of magnitude F and lying at an angle off the x-axis θ, the y-component of the force is given by:

Fsin(θ)

The magnitude of the two forces is 20N, and they lie at 30° and 60°, so the sum of their y-components, and therefore the y-component of the resultant force, is:

20sin(30°)+20sin(60°)

= 27.3N
