Question
Chapter 3, Problem 1MCQ
To determine
The option which is associated with the x component of a vector in Cartesian axes.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1MCQ
Option (a).
Explanation of Solution
The angle is a measured to be positive in the anticlockwise direction. For a vector in the Cartesian coordinate system, when the measurement is from the positive x axis then the
Conclusion:
Since the measurement in the positive axis give the cosine value of angle for the
The y component of a vector in Cartesian coordinate is associated with the sine value, option (b) is incorrect.
It is not possible to give the tangent of a value as the
Since the measurement in the positive axis give the cosine value of angle for the
