A force of 10.0 newtons acts at an angle 20.0 degrees from vertical. What are the horizontal and vertical components of the force?

Question

A. 

The horizontal component is 10.1 newtons, and the vertical component is 0 newtons. 

B. 

The horizontal component is 3.42 newtons, and the vertical component is 9.39 newtons.

C. 

The horizontal component is 9.39 newtons, and the vertical component is 3.42 newtons.

D. 

The horizontal component is 9.39 newtons, and the vertical component is 9.39 newtons.

Answer 1

Horizontal component:

F_x = 10.0 sin20° N = ? N

Vertical component:

F_y = 10.0 cos20° N = ? N
