Determine the components of the force F (25.0 N, north) along the x and y axes of the tilted coordinate system shown below.
ANSWERS OPTIONS
A
Fx = - 23.5 N
Fy = - 8.6 N
Fy = - 8.6 N
B
Fx = - 8.6 N
Fy = + 23.5 N
Fy = + 23.5 N
C
Fx = 0 N
Fy = + 25.0 N
Fy = + 25.0 N
D
Fx = + 25.0 N
Fy = + 0 N
Fy = + 0 N
