2.6, Rectangular Components of a Fore, Unit Vectors.
In many problems it will be found desirable to resolve a force
{nto two components which are perpendicular to each other.
In Fig. 2.18, the force F has been resolved into a component
AF, along the x axis and a component F, along the y axis, The
parallelogram drawn to obtain the two components is a ree-
tangle, and ¥,, and F, are called rectangular components,
‘The x and y axes ave usually chosen horizontal and vesticel,
respectively, as in Fig. 2.18; thoy may, however, be chosen
in any two perpendicular directions, as shown in Fig. 2.19.
In determining the rectangular components of a force, the stu.
dent should think of the construction lines shown in Figs, 2.18
and 2.19 as being parallel to the x and y axes, rather than per-
the properties established in Ses. 2. and 27 may be realy extendeto the
‘cetangular components of any vector quantity.B
