What do you understand by resolution of a vector into two mutually perpendicular components ?

Open in App

Solution

Resolution of a vector is the process of splitting up a vector (force) into two perpendicular component parts. They are called rectangular components because the two component forces are mutually perpendicular. Therefore the horizontal component of the force R is $R cos θ$ .
