![### Vector and Force Analysis
#### Problem 5
**Objective:**
Calculate the effective components of a force.
- **Problem Statement:** A force of 6 N acts at an angle of 60° north of west. What are the effective force components along the west and along the north?
#### Problem 6
**Objective:**
Analyze and interpret vector components.
- **Problem Statement:** A vector has components (4, -3). Draw the vector and determine the magnitude and direction of the vector.
- **Equation Note:**
- You are given a note saying `tan θ = OPP/ADJ = x/y / x/x`.
#### Problem 7
**Objective:**
Component calculation from vectors in diagrams.
**Diagrams and Explanation:**
1. **First Diagram:**
- Shows a vector with a length of 10 m at a 60° angle above the horizontal line. The components are shown as `x` and `y` with `x` along the horizontal and `y` pointing vertically upward.
2. **Second Diagram:**
- Shows a vertical vector `y` with a line passing horizontally through a labeled angle 30° from the vector. Unknown components are labeled as `y` and `x`.
3. **Third Diagram:**
- Displays a vector pointing along the diagonal with a -45° angle. Components `y` and `x` are indicated, with the horizontal component shown as extending towards the right.
**Task:**
- Calculate the `x` and `y` components for the vectors represented in the diagrams, considering the provided angles and magnitudes.
This educational scenario guides students in understanding vector components using diagrams and given problems.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F0bc89b86-0319-465b-96a1-f0c9ce452bb7%2F1245802b-e17b-4ca9-8bc0-4bc734570493%2Flioom37_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
