Solution Preview
Let East direction be the positive x axis and North the positive y axis
Component is the horizontal (x) direction = (Magnitude) x (Cos phi )
Component is the vertical (y) direction = (Magnitude) x (Sin phi )
a) HORSE A EXERTS A FORCE OF 350 N AT AN ANGLE OF 48 DEGREES N OF EAST
Magnitude = 350 N
phi = 48 degrees
x ...
