A force of 38 newtons is acting on an object making an angle of 65º with the horizontal. What is the value component of the force acting along the y-axis?

F(y) =F•sin65o,
F(x) =F•cos65o
that equation doesnt work. just saying...
To find the value component of the force acting along the y-axis, we need to determine the vertical component of the force.
The vertical component can be found using trigonometric functions, in this case, the sine function.
First, we need to determine the angle between the force vector and the y-axis. Since the force is making an angle of 65º with the horizontal, the angle between the force vector and the y-axis will be the complementary angle of 65º, which is 90º - 65º = 25º.
Now, we can use the sine function to find the vertical component of the force:
Vertical component = Force * sin(angle)
Vertical component = 38 newtons * sin(25º)
To find the value of sin(25º), you can use a scientific calculator or look it up in a table.
After calculating, the vertical component of the force acting along the y-axis is approximately 16.25 newtons.
