nmdcat.online August 7, 2026

1. A vector of magnitude 10 N acts at an angle of 37° above the positive x-axis. Taking sin 37° = 0.6 and cos 37° = 0.8 its rectangular components are

A. 8 N and 6 N
✓
B. 6 N and 8 N
C. 10 N and 0 N
D. 5 N and 5 N

📝 Explanation

(V_x=Vcos37^circ=10(0.8)=8) N and (V_y=Vsin37^circ=10(0.6)=6) N.

📖 Additional Information
