1 Resolve the given vector into its Xcomponent and Ycomponen

1.

Resolve the given vector into it\'s X-component and Y-component. The given angle is measured counterclockwise from the positive X-axis (in standard position).

******Magnitude 2.12 mN, =216.61 degrees

The X-component Ax is ______ mN.

The Y-component Ay is ______mN.

(Round to nearest houndredth as needed.)

Solution

X-component Ax = 2.12 x cos(216.61 degree) = 2.12 x (-0.803) = -1.70

Y-component Ay = 2.12 x sin(216.61 degree) = 2.12 x (-0.596) = -1.26
