If a vector is denoted by A then its x-component can be written as:
Correct answer: C. Option C
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
The x component of a vector A can be found by projecting the vector onto the x-axis. It's typically represented as Ax. If you have the magnitude and angle of the vector, you can use trigonometry (cosine of the angle times the magnitude) to find it.

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.
