A force of 5N acts on a particle along a direction making an angle of `30^(@)` with vertical . Its vertical component will be :

A

10N

B

3N

C

4N

D

2.5N

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`F = 5N, theta = 30^(@)`
`F sin theta = 5 sin 30^(@)` `= 5 xx (1)/(2) = 2.5 N`
