The position vectors particle has length 1m and makes `30^(@)` with the x-axis. What are the lengths of the x and y components of the position vector?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`:. l_(x) = l cos theta =1*cos 30^(@) = (sqrt(3))/(2)m`
`l_(y) = l sin theta = 1* sin 30^(@) = 1*(1)/(2)`
`= 0 . 5 m `
