Find the components N[itex]_{x}[/itex] and N[itex]_{y}[/itex] of vector N in the tilted cooridinate system.
cosθ = adg/hyp and sinθ= opp/hyp
The correct answer is supposed to be
N[itex]_{x}[/itex] = -Nsinθ and N[itex]_{y}[/itex] = Ncosθ
The error is on the component vector N[itex]_{x}[/itex].
How do you find the component vectors and come up with a negative for N[itex]_{x}[/itex]?
