A.    Resolution of Forces - Breaking down a _____________________________________

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only the _________________________________________________________

 

 

 

If the ______________________________, how would it change the size of the:

 

·        Horizontal component? _____________________

 

·        Vertical component? _____________________

 

 

Ex 1)   A car is pulled with a force of 60N at angle of 37° from the horizontal.  Find the vertical and horizontal components of the applied force

 

                                                                                                            1 cm = __________

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                      

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Example 2) Weight of cart = 80 N

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Find the horizontal component of the weight force          _____________

 

• Find the vertical component of the weight force              _____________

 

Example 3) A 50 N force at an angle of 80° has it angle changed to 10°.  How will the vertical and horizontal components change?

 

Answer:

 

¨      Vertical component -             ____________________

 

¨      Horizontal component -        ____________________

    

Ex 3) Parallel and perpendicular resultants
