Math Problem Statement

Resolve the vector X into its components at the given 105° angle.

Solution

The image appears to depict a force analysis or vector resolution problem, where the angle and forces (or components) are involved. Here's a step-by-step explanation of the image:


Key Observations:

  1. The given angle is 105° (between the two intersecting lines).
  2. A force (or vector) X is shown being decomposed or resolved into components.
  3. One part involves a vertical component, and the other involves a horizontal component.
  4. The vector or force X has been broken into its components using trigonometric relationships.

Steps to Resolve the Components:

To calculate the value of X^\hat{X} (X's resolved components):

  • The horizontal component of XX can be found using: Xhorizontal=Xcos(θ)X_{\text{horizontal}} = X \cdot \cos(\theta)

  • The vertical component of XX can be found using: Xvertical=Xsin(θ)X_{\text{vertical}} = X \cdot \sin(\theta)

Where:

  • XX is the magnitude of the force/vector.
  • θ\theta is the angle relative to the reference axis.

Missing Information:

  1. The image lacks the numerical value of X (the magnitude of the vector).
  2. X^\hat{X} seems to be asking for the resolved horizontal or vertical components, depending on the problem setup.

Do you have more information about:

  1. The exact value of X?
  2. Which component (horizontal or vertical) the problem is asking for?
