A force of 10N is acting along y-axis. Its component along x-axis is
Correct answer: D. 0 N
- A. 10 N
- B. 20 N
- C. 100 N
- D. 0 N
Explanation
If a force of 10 N is acting along the y-axis, its component along the x-axis is 0 N. This is because the force is solely directed along the y-axis, and there is no contribution along the x-axis.

About Vectors and Equilibrium
Vectors have magnitude and direction, unlike scalars, and are combined by head-to-tail or parallelogram methods. Work covers rectangular components, equilibrium when the resultant force is zero, the scalar product for work and projections, and the vector product for torque and cross-product direction using the right-hand rule.
