A force of 5 N acts on a particle along a direction making an angle of 60° with vertical. Its vertical component be

A

10 N

B

3 N

C

4 N

D

5.2 N

Answer

5.2 N

Explanation

Solution

The component of force in vertical direction will be Fcos⁡θ=Fcos⁡60∘F \cos \theta = F \cos 60 ^ { \circ }

=5×12=2.5 N= 5 \times \frac { 1 } { 2 } = 2.5 \mathrm {~N}
