Compute the vertical and horizontal components for the given

Compute the vertical and horizontal components for the given values of P and theta. The angle is measured clockwise from the positive X axis to the force P, as shown. 320Ib, 20 degree 640 Ib, 30 degree 320 Ib, 40 degree 320 Ib, 88 degree

Solution

a) 320lb , 20 degree

horizontal component = Pcos(theta)

                                     =320 cos(20)

vertical component = Psin(theta)

                                =320 sin(20)

b) 640 lb , 30

horizontal component = Pcos(theta)

                                     =640 cos(30)

vertical component = Psin(theta)

                                =640 sin(30)

c) . 320 lb , 40

horizontal component = Pcos(theta)

                                     =320 cos(40)

vertical component = Psin(theta)

                                =320 sin(40)

d). 320lb , 88

horizontal component = Pcos(theta)

                                     =320 cos(88)

vertical component = Psin(theta)

                                =320 sin(88)
