    Calculating components of a force applied at an angle

    That is what I was thinking. Now I just use trig and solve for F1Y? That is what I am confused about. If I was pushing against an angled surface with a horizontal force, wouldn't there be resulting X and Y components of forces that can be calculated, like in this sitiation? How I visualised...

    Calculating components of a force applied at an angle

    Am I doing it correctly in assigning the X component of F1 to F1 itself and then using trig to solve for Y as I have drawn out in the triangle?

    Calculating components of a force applied at an angle

    I really only need to calculate one at a time. They are independent of each other but both forces need to be evaluated. The blue outlined area is a representation of the body the forces are being applied too. All that really needs to be noted is the angle of the inclined plane and the...

    Calculating components of a force applied at an angle

    1. The problem statement, all variables, and given/known data Attached is a diagram of what I am trying to solve. I need to calculate the X and Y components for both F1 and F2. The results will then be used in a later problem that I've already solved but I am coming up with an error and I was...
