Find the magnitude of the horizontal and vertical components of the vector with magnitude 6 pounds pointed in a direction of 136° above the horizontal. Round to the nearest hundredth. horizontal component lb vertical component lb
Added by Cody W.
Step 1
To do this, we can use trigonometry. The horizontal component is given by: cos(136°) = adjacent/hypotenuse where the adjacent side is the horizontal component we're looking for, and the hypotenuse is the magnitude of the vector (6 pounds). Solving for the Show more…
