The \(X\) and \(Y\) components of a force \(F\) acting at \(30^{\circ}\) to \(x\)-axis are respectively

  1. A \(\mathrm{F}, \frac{\mathrm{F}}{\sqrt{2}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{F}{\sqrt{2}}, \mathrm{~F}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{F}}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \mathrm{~F}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \mathrm{~F}, \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~F}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \mathrm{~F}, \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~F}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{x}}=\mathrm{F} \cos 30^{\circ}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \mathrm{~F} \)
\(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{y}}=\mathrm{F} \sin 30^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~F}\)
