Solving Problems Involving Resultant and Component Forces

How do we solve problems involving resultant and component forces?

In this post, we are solving problems or make quantitative predictions involving resultant and component forces, as a part of the Prelim Physics course under the module Dynamics and sub-part Forces. To solve problems involving resultant and component forces, we apply the following relationships:

  • \vec{F}_{AB} = -\vec{F}_{BA}
  • F_{x} = Fcos(\theta), F_{y} = Fsin(\theta)

The following video covers a step-by-step approach in solving problems that involve resultant and component forces. It will go more in-depth on inclined plane forces components.
