Question
[mechanics]Fig. 24Figure 24 shows a force, $\mathbf{F}$, of $10 \mathrm{kN}$ applied at an angle $\theta$. Obtain the horizontal and vertical components of the force.
Step 1
The horizontal component of the force, Fx, can be found using the cosine function: Fx = F * cos(Īø) The vertical component of the force, Fy, can be found using the sine function: Fy = F * sin(Īø) Show more…
