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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion:
On this tilted set of axes, this force has components as follows:
F_x=cos(250deg)*10N=-3.4N
F_y=sin(250deg)*10N=-9.4N

What are the x and y components of the equilibrant of the force?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion:
The equilibriant of the force therefore has an x component of +3.4N and a y component of +9.4N
