** CQ_1_19.2_labelMessages **
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?

10 cos(250 deg) = -3.4 and 10 sin(theta) = -9.4, each to two significant figures.
You don't indicate how you got your results, but this is the way to do it.

The signs are essential.
