AI Thread Summary
To resolve the 30 force into components along the specified axes, a triangle should be drawn to scale, ensuring its edges are parallel to the u and v axes. The Law of Sines is applicable for calculating the angles and magnitudes of the components. By using the triangle, the final steps involve determining the lengths of the sides corresponding to the u and v axes. This method provides a clear visual representation and aids in accurate calculations. The approach effectively simplifies the resolution of force components in vector analysis.
