Hello guys, I just have a simple question and I hope it doesn't get deleted or anything but anyways... The question is, "If F1 = 97g@338 degrees, then its components are?"
Then in my book it gives me three answers and I have to pick the correct one...
A: F1x = 29g, F1y = 93g
B: F1x = -53g, F1y = 81g
C: F1x = 90g, F1y = -36g.
Now then, when I draw the picture, the 338 degree's is in quadrant 4 thus giving me a negative y value. So I chose answer C but I can't for the life of me figure out how to figure it out algebraically. I thought it was just something along the lines of 97cos(338) but its not. I have re-read my book and even got into my old high school physics book but I could NOT find the equation I should use to find it... So does anyone know how to set the equation up to figure this out?
