Decomposing Thrust Vectors

C3 C1 L16 Decomposing Thrust V2

In the image above, the thrusts from the two propellers have been combined into a single F_{\text{thrust}}. For the following questions assume the quantities shown above have the following values (in standard units):

Quantity	Value
m	10
F_{\text{thrust}}	120
\phi	30^{\circ}

SOLUTION:

F_y = F_{\text{thrust}} \sin \phi

SOLUTION:

6 m/s^2
