Question

Vector A is 30° below the x-axis. Vector B is 35° to the right of the negative y-axis. You will be asked to find the resultant, R = A + B. How do you calculate the y-components of each vector?

 

Group of answer choices

Ay=-5cos30°; By=-9sin35°

Ay=-5sin30°; By=-9cos35°

Ay=5cos30°; By=9sin35°

Ay=5sin30°; By=9cos35°

A= 5 m
35
B=9 m
Transcribed Image Text:A= 5 m 35 B=9 m
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

Angle of vector A with + x-axis = 30°

Angle of vector B with - y-axis = 35°

Magnitude of the vector A = 5 m

Magnitude of the vector B = 9 m

Need to determine y-components of each vector A and B.
