Draw a sketch on a cartesian plane Draw a sketch diagram of the net x component and the net y component for both questions 1. Forces of 10N horizontally to the left And 13N in the opposite direction; 1N and 5N both vertically upwards. The positive x - direction is towards the right
13-10 = 3 right
1 +5 =6 up
To draw the sketch diagram, we will use a Cartesian coordinate system with the x-axis representing the horizontal direction (positive to the right) and the y-axis representing the vertical direction (positive upwards).
Step 1: Draw the x-component forces:
- Start at the origin (0, 0) and draw a horizontal arrow pointing towards the left with a length of 10 units for the first force.
- From the end of the first arrow, draw another horizontal arrow pointing towards the right with a length of 13 units for the second force. This represents the force in the opposite direction.
Step 2: Draw the y-component forces:
- From the origin (0, 0), draw a vertical arrow pointing upwards with a length of 1 unit for the first force.
- From the end of the first arrow, draw another vertical arrow pointing upwards with a length of 5 units for the second force.
Step 3: Label the axes and forces:
- Write "x" and "y" along the x-axis and y-axis respectively to label the directions.
- Label the horizontal arrows as "10N" and "13N" to represent their magnitudes.
- Label the vertical arrows as "1N" and "5N" to represent their magnitudes.
Your sketch diagram should show four arrows: two horizontal arrows of lengths 10 units and 13 units, pointing in opposite directions, and two vertical arrows of lengths 1 unit and 5 units, both pointing upwards. The x-component forces are displayed on the x-axis, and the y-component forces are displayed on the y-axis.
