A force vector is given by $F = 6 \hat{i} + 8 \hat{j}$ N. What is the magnitude of its component along the positive x-axis?

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

For a vector $F = F_{x} \hat{i} + F_{y} \hat{j}$ , the component along the positive x-axis is simply the scalar value $F_{x}$ . Given $F = 6 \hat{i} + 8 \hat{j}$ N, the component along the positive x-axis is 6 N.
