To calculate the component of a force at a given direction, you can use trigonometry. Specifically, you will use the cosine function.
The formula to calculate the component of a force is:
Component = Force × cos(θ)
Where:
- Component is the magnitude of the force in the given direction.
- Force is the magnitude of the original force.
- θ is the angle between the original force and the desired direction.
In this case, the force is 200 N (given), and the angle between the force and the desired direction is 60 degrees (given).
Plugging the values into the formula:
Component = 200 N × cos(60°)
Now, let's calculate:
Component = 200 N × cos(60°)
Using a scientific calculator or trigonometric table, we find that cos(60°) is equal to 0.5.
Substituting this value into the equation:
Component = 200 N × 0.5
Simplifying the equation:
Component = 100 N
Therefore, the component of the force of 200 N at a direction of 60° to the force is 100 N.
