This interactive tutorial explains how to resolve a force into force components. Numerous examples are combined with a simple language and informative graphics to provide students with a solid grasp of the method. Several practice problems and a Check Your Understanding section allows students to self-assess their learning.
This is part of The Physics Classroom Tutorial series, a set of instructional pages aimed at students looking for a better grasp of basic concepts.
