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.

#$&* I don’t know what you want me to answer here…. I sketched out my coordinate plane where a vector of 10 N at an angle of 250 degrees is headed south-west.
• What are the x and y components of the equilibrant of the force?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
#$&* Using x = L * cos(‘theta), I get the x coordinate to be x = 10 * cos(250) = -3.4. Using y = L * sin(‘theta), I get the y coordinate to be y = 10 * sin(250) = - 9.4.
