Sketch a vector representing a 10 Newton force which acts vertically downward.
Position an x-y coordinate plane so that the initial point of your vector is at the origin, and the angle of the vector as measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis is 250 degrees. This will require that you 'rotate' the x-y coordinate plane from its traditional horizontal-vertical orientation.
Ok I understand
What are the x and y components of the equilibrant of the force?
9.3,-3.42
The force is in the third quadrant. The equilibrant will therefore be in the first quadrant. The components you give might have the right magnitudes but they correspond to a vector in the fourth quadrant.
