Q.4. A force of 5 N acts on a particle along a direction making an angle of 60 with vertical. Its vertical component be
(a) 10 N
(b) 3 N
(c) 4 N
(d) 2.5 N
As the Force 5N acts on a particle along a direction making an angle of 60 degree with vertical.
The vertical component of force would be :
Product of Force and Cos θ
⇒F COSθ
⇒5xCOS60°
⇒5x1/2
⇒2.5N
