Answer:
[tex]F_{x}=453.44N[/tex]
Explanation:
Given data
Force F=599 N
Angle α=40.8°
To find
x scalar component
Solution
The Scalar x component can be found by
[tex]F_{x}=FCos\alpha \\F_{x}=599Cos(40.8)\\F_{x}=453.44N[/tex]
The Scalar y component can be found by
[tex]F_{y}=-FSin\alpha \\F_{y}=-599Sin(40.8)\\F_{y}=-391.4N[/tex]
