Answer:
(1.93 m, 0.52 m)
Explanation:
given,
distance of point from the origin,d = 2 m
angle measured from horizontal = 15°
Cartesian coordinate of the point = ?
we can find the x and y component by resolving the position vector
horizontal component
x = d cos θ
x = 2 x cos 15°
x = 1.93 m
vertical component of the position vector
y = d sin θ
y = 2 x sin 15°
y = 0.52 m
hence, the Cartesian coordinate are
( x , y) = (1.93 m, 0.52 m)
