For simplicity consider a force whose direction does not correspond to either the x- or y-axis. At the head of the force (where the arrow is) draw a vertical line to the horizontal axis and a horizontal line to the vertical axis. The force is now enclosed by the lines you have drawn and the axes and this enclosure is a rectangle. Since a rectangle is also a parallelogram this means that you have also resolved the given vector into two components, namely, the one given by the portion of the horizontal axis between the origin and where your vertical line meets that axis, and the one given by the portion of the vertical axis between the origin and where your horizontal line meets that axis. These two vectors are the rectangular components of the given force.

What is Meant by a Force?

Force is a term used in dynamics, and it applies to astronomy as well as to the way objects move around on Earth. When you push something you are exerting a physical force on it, in technical language. Force exerted on an object causes it to accelerate, if it is free to move. Newton's second law says that force equals mass times acceleration and this leads to the definition of units of force. The SI unit of force is the Newton and a 1 Newton force acting on a 1 kg mass produces an acceleration of 1 metre/second per second. When an object is dropped, the force of gravity accelerates it, and we know by experiment that a falling object accelerates at 9.8 metre per second per second, so the force of gravity acting on a 1 kg mass is 9.8 Newtons. In other words that is its weight.

How many rectangular arrangements are possible if the band adds one member and becomes a 61 member bands?

To determine the number of rectangular arrangements for a 61-member band, we need to find the factor pairs of 61. Since 61 is a prime number, its only factors are 1 and 61, which means the only rectangular arrangements possible are 1 row of 61 members or 61 rows of 1 member. Therefore, there are only two possible rectangular arrangements for a 61-member band.

What is meant by rectangular components of force?

How can a force be resolved in to rectangular components?

You would use trigonometry for that. If, for example, you have a force of magnitude 10 at an angle of 30 degrees: * The x-component is 10 times the cosine of 30 degrees * The y-component is 10 times the sine of 30 degrees Or better yet, learn to use the polar-->rectangular conversion on your scientific calculator.


How can a force be resolved into its perpendicular components?

1) Graphically. Draw an arrow for the force, and measure the vertical and horizontal components. 2) Use trigonometry. The x-component is the length of the vector times the cosine of the angle, while the y-component is the length of the vector times the sine of the angle. 3) Use the polar-to-rectangular conversion on your scientific calculator. This is the fastest method, but the details are a bit complicated (since the calculator needs to return two values), and vary from one calculator to another. Check your calculator's manual.


How a vector can be express in term of its rectangular component?

A vector can be represented in terms of its rectangular components for example : V= Ix + Jy + Kz I, J and K are the rectangular vector direction components and x, y and z are the scalar measures along the components.


What is meant by rectangular triangle componenets of a vector?

If you plotted the original path and velocity, and the path and velocity of the 'impacting' force, then the third leg of the triangle will be the resultant path and velocity.


What is meant by rectangular unit vector?

A unit vector has a length (magnitude) equal to 1 (one unit). A rectangular vector is a coordinate vector specified by components that define a rectangle (or rectangular prism in three dimensions, and similar shapes in greater dimensions). The starting point and terminal point of the vector lie at opposite ends of the rectangle (or prism, etc.).


What is the angle between rectangular componenet of a vector?

If the components are in the i and j directions, for example, then if the vector is mi + nj then the coefficients m and n can be used to find the magnitude and direction.The magnitude is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs m and n, so it is sqrt(m² + n²).

What are the components of a car brake?

There are six components of a car brake. It starts with the pedal that the driver presses. Most of the other parts (combo valve, booster, master cylinder) are meant to transmit the action into force, until finally the wheels are reached. Here, drum brakes and disc brakes are used to apply force to the wheels and force them to stop turning.


What two components describe force?

The two components that describe force are magnitude, which is the strength of the force, and direction, which indicates the line along which the force acts.
