A luggage wagon is being pulled with vector force V, which has a magnitude of 800 pounds at an angle of elevation of 56 degrees. Resolve the vector V into components. The horizontal component is. (Round to the nearest integer.)

Solution

given magnitude m =800 pounds

angle of elivation t=56 degrees

now vector components are

horizontal component is m cos t = 800 cos 56 = 800*0.5592 = 447.36

vertical component is m sint = 800 sin 56 = 800*0.8290 = 663.2
