A force of 5 N acts on a particle along a directionmaking an angle of 60° with vertical. Its verticalcomponent be
Question
Solution
The vertical component of a force can be calculated using the formula:
F_vertical = F * cos(θ)
where: F is the force, θ is the angle the force makes with the vertical direction.
Given: F = 5 N, θ = 60°.
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
F_vertical = 5 N * cos(60°)
The cosine of 60 degrees is 0.5, so:
F_vertical = 5 N * 0.5 = 2.5 N
So, the vertical component of the force is 2.5 N.
