MHB Vector in 3d with given by magnitude and angle

Click For Summary
To express the vector in component form, start by recognizing that it lies in the yz plane with a magnitude of 2 and an angle of 30 degrees with the positive y-axis. The x-component is zero, which simplifies the vector to the form <0, v1, v2>. Using trigonometric definitions, v1 can be calculated as 2 * cos(30°) and v2 as 2 * sin(30°). The final vector in component form is <0, √3, 1>. Understanding these calculations is essential for accurately representing vectors in three-dimensional space.

Dear everyone,Direction Write the vector in component form.

v lies in the yz planeplane, has magnitude 2, and makes an angle of 30 degrees with the positive y axis.

Work
I know that the x component is zero.
<0,v1,v2​>

Thanks
