Lesson: Resolution of Forces

A force of magnitude 190 N acts at the origin making an angle of above the -axis. Find and , its components in the and directions.

Resolve a force of 81 N into two perpendicular components and as shown in the figure. Give your answer correct to two decimal places.

A body weighing 72 N is placed on a plane that is inclined at to the horizontal. Resolve its weight into two components and , where is the component in the direction of the plane and is the component normal to the plane.
