Math Problem Statement

give the correct answer from the option from the image

For the given force system, find the components of forces P and F along X and Y axis.

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to break down the forces P=200NP = 200 \, \text{N} and F=300NF = 300 \, \text{N} into their components along the X and Y axes.

Force PP (200 N at 60° from the horizontal)

For P=200NP = 200 \, \text{N} at an angle of 6060^\circ:

  • Px=Pcos(60)=2000.5=100NP_x = P \cdot \cos(60^\circ) = 200 \cdot 0.5 = 100 \, \text{N}
  • Py=Psin(60)=20032173.2NP_y = P \cdot \sin(60^\circ) = 200 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \approx 173.2 \, \text{N}

Thus, the components for PP are:

  • Px=100NP_x = 100 \, \text{N}
  • Py=173.2NP_y = 173.2 \, \text{N}

Force FF (300 N at 30° from the horizontal)

For F=300NF = 300 \, \text{N} at an angle of 3030^\circ from the horizontal:

  • Fx=Fcos(30)=30032259.8NF_x = F \cdot \cos(30^\circ) = 300 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \approx 259.8 \, \text{N}
  • Fy=Fsin(30)=3000.5=150NF_y = F \cdot \sin(30^\circ) = 300 \cdot 0.5 = 150 \, \text{N}

After comparing these calculations with the options, none of the options exactly match these computed values, indicating a potential discrepancy in provided answers or in problem details.
