Method of components

The components of a vector are those vectors which, when added together, give the original vector.
The sum of the components of two vectors is equal to the sum of these two vectors.







A1, the component in an easterly direction, will have a magnitudeA1 = A cosQ.

A2, the component in a northerly direction, will have a magnitudeA2 = AsinQ
