1.
A rocket is fired at an angle of 25° to the ground and with an initial velocity of 120 m/s. Resolve the vector
into its vertical and horizontal components and state the magnitudes of each component.
2. A mother holds a baby's stroller stationary on a hill with a 20° incline. The stroller and baby weigh 200 N.
Resolve the force into components that are parallel and perpendicular to the hill and state the magnitudes of
the components.
3. An elliptical mirror weighing 120 N is hanging on a wall from two wires. The two wires make an angle of
98° with each other. Determine the tension in the wires.
