7 We ADD vectors HEAD to TAIL [tip to toe]
6N What is the resultant force R ? We ADD vectors HEAD to TAIL [tip to toe] 8N 6N R John Parkinson 8N

8 Hence C = F cos  RESOLUTION OF VECTORS - COMPONENTS F
What is the component of the force F in the x - direction? F x C Dropping a perpendicular C is the component of F in the x - direction Hence C = F cos  John Parkinson
