(a)

Kyle is pushing the handle of the wheelbarrow down with a force of $\"\"$ at an angle of 48° with the ground. Draw a vector to represent the handle of the wheelbarrow.

$\"\"$

Observe the figure,

The vector can be resolved into horizontal component $\"\"$ and vertical components $\"\"$ .

Remove the axes.

$\"\"$

The horizontal and vertical components of the vector form a right triangle. Use the sine or cosine ratios to find the magnitude of each component.

$\"\"$

Observe the figure:

$\"\"$

Therefore magnitude of horizontal component is $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$

Therefore magnitude of vertical component is $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$

$\"\"$

(b)

Magnitude of horizontal component is $\"\"$ and magnitude of vertical component is $\"\"$ .
