Question 70

A force F\mathbf{F}F of magnitude 42 N42 \text{ N}42 N acts on a charged particle. The direction of the force relative to unit vectors i\mathbf{i}i (representing the positive horizontal direction) and j\mathbf{j}j (representing the positive vertical direction) is such that the force vector points into the second quadrant. The angle between the force vector and the positive j\mathbf{j}j direction is 62∘62^\circ62∘.

The force can be expressed as a vector [F1F2] N\begin{bmatrix} F_1 \\ F_2 \end{bmatrix} \text{ N}[F1​F2​​] N.

Find the correct expression for F1F_1F1​.

F1=42sin⁡62∘F_1 = 42 \sin 62^\circF1​=42sin62∘

F1=42cos⁡62∘F_1 = 42 \cos 62^\circF1​=42cos62∘

F1=−42sin⁡62∘F_1 = -42 \sin 62^\circF1​=−42sin62∘

F1=−42cos⁡62∘F_1 = -42 \cos 62^\circF1​=−42cos62∘
