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.

What are the x and y components of the equilibrant of the force?

answer/question/discussion:

 Fx=10*cos(250)=-3.42

Fy=10*sin(250)=-9.40
