Answer:
Explanation:
If a force of 20N is situated at 30° south west, the x and y component of the vector will be expressed as:
Fx = -Fcos 30° and Fy = -Fsin30°
They are but negative because the force acts in the third quadrant of a four cardinal point
Fx = -20cos30°
Fx = -20(√3/2)
Fx = -10√3N
Hence the -x component if the force is -10√3N
Fy = -20sin30°
Fy = -20(1/2)
Fy = -10N
Hence the y-component is the vector is -10N
