Determine the magnitude of the horizontal and vertical components of each vector to the nearest tenth of a unit.
a) a force of 200 N applied at a bearing of 026 degrees
Angle with the horizontal (A) = 90 - 26 = 64 degs
---
Horizontal = 200*cos(64)
Vertical = 200*sin(64)
=================================
b) a jet travelling N40degreesE at 900 km/h
Angle with the horizontal = 50 degs.
Same as (a)
