If Fx and Fy are the components of vector F, then we can write as_.
Correct answer: B. Option B
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
If Fx and Fy are the horizontal and vertical components of vector respectively, then vector F can be expressed as: F = Fx + Fy This representation breaks down the vector into its horizontal and vertical components.

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.
