A force of 80 N acts at 53.13^circ to the x-axis. Its x- and y-components are:

  1. Fx = 80 N, Fy = 80 N
  2. Fx = 48 N, Fy = 64 N
  3. Fx = 64 N, Fy = 48 N
  4. Fx = 24 N, Fy = 32 N
Answer

B) Fx = 48 N, Fy = 64 N

cos 53.13^circ = 0.6 and sin 53.13^circ = 0.8: Fx = 48 N, Fy = 64 N. SLO P-11-B-01 · Understanding
