Copy the problem below into a text editor or word processor.
• This form accepts only text so a text editor such as Notepad is fine.
• You might prefer for your own reasons to use a word processor (for example the formatting features might help you organize your answer and explanations), but note that formatting will be lost when you submit your work through the form.
• If you use a word processor avoid using special characters or symbols, which would require more of your time to create and will not be represented correctly by the form.
• As you will see within the first few assignments, there is an easily-learned keyboard-based shorthand that doesn't look quite as pretty as word-processor symbols, but which gets the job done much more efficiently.
You should enter your answers using the text editor or word processor. You will then copy-and-paste it into the box below, and submit.

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.
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The x component for this vector is -3.4 because 10cos(250)=-3.4 and the y component is -9.4N because 10sin(250)=-9.4N.

• What are the x and y components of the equilibrant of the force?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The x equilibrant force is 3.4N and the equilibrant y force is 9.4N.
