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: If I sketch a coordinate plane I would need to rotate it 20 degrees counterclockwise in order to have the vector pointing in the vertically downward direction as described above.
What are the x and y components of the equilibrant of the force?
answer/question/discussion: We can determine the components of the force as being 10 N * sin 250 for the y and 10 N * cos 250 for the x; therefore, the x-component = -3.42 N, and y-component = -9.40 N.
