Part B Find the x- and y-components of B vector in the coordinate system shown in the figure (b). Express your answers using two significant figures. Enter your answers numerically separated by a comma.
Solution
IF B is 70o couter clock wise with verticle
Then the angle made by B with y axis is 70 and the y component in frame (a)
By = 7.8 cos(70) = 2.667 m
and Bx = -7.8 m sin(70)= -7.329 m is along negative x axis
Bx,By in a coordinate system = -7.329m , 2.667m
b) since the cordinate system b is already tilted 30 with the verticle ,
then vector B will make 40 with with y axis in b cordinate system ; we have B = 7.8 m
By = B cos(40) = 5.975 m
Bx = B sin(40) m = -5.013 m
Bx ,By = -5.013 m, 5.975 m
