Vector Resolution: Definition & Practice Problems
1. How would you write 50 newtons east, and 70 newtons south in component form? (Use north to south as the y-axis, and east to west as the x-axis, like in the lesson.)
2. Two people, A and B are pulling a flag in a 2D tug of war. Person A is applying a force 25 newtons west, and 50 newtons north. The total force is 70 newtons west, and 10 newtons south. What force must person B be applying?
