Math Problem Statement
solve for vertical component of vector b
Solution
To find the vertical component of Vector B, we can break down the vector into its horizontal (x) and vertical (y) components using trigonometric functions.
Given:
- Vector B has a magnitude of
- The direction is 75 degrees north of east
Vertical Component (along the y-axis):
The vertical component of a vector is given by:
Where:
- (magnitude of Vector B)
- (angle north of east)
Let's calculate this.
Now, I'll compute that.The vertical component of Vector B is approximately 67.6 N.
