Answer:
For vector u, x component = 10.558 and y component =12.808
unit vector = 0.636 i+ 0.7716 j
For vector v, x component = 23.6316 and y component = -6.464
unit vector = 0.9645 i-0.2638 j
Explanation:
Let the vector u has magnitude 16.6
u makes an angle of 50.5° from x axis
So 
Vertical component 
So vector u will be u = 10.558 i+12.808 j
Unit vector 
Now in second case let vector v has a magnitude of 24.5
Making an angle with -15.3° from x axis
So horizontal component 
Vertical component 
So vector v will be 23.6316 i - 6.464 j
Unit vector of v 
Answer:
The x-component of
is 56.148 newtons.
Explanation:
From 1st and 2nd Newton's Law we know that a system is at rest when net acceleration is zero. Then, the vectorial sum of the three forces must be equal to zero. That is:
(1)
Where:
,
,
- External forces exerted on the ring, measured in newtons.
- Vector zero, measured in newtons.
If we know that
,
,
and
, then we construct the following system of linear equations:
(2)
(3)
The solution of this system is:
, 
The x-component of
is 56.148 newtons.
B. It’s the same roughly at all latitudes
