If the horizontal and vertical components of a force are negative, then that force is acting in between
Options
North and East
North and West
South and West
South and East
MCQ
Solution
South and West
Explanation:
Angle = `pi + theta`
Horizontal component = `|vecF| cos (pi + theta)`
= `- |vecF| cos theta` (Negative)
Vertical component = `|vecF| sin (pi + theta)`
= `- |vecF| cos theta` (Negative)
Hence, force is acting in between south and west.
