axis. Vector is
represented by a line OA.From point A draw a perpendicular AB on X-
axis.Suppose OB and BA
represents two vectors.Vector OA is parallel to X-axis and vector BA is
parallel to Y-axis.Magnitude
of these vectors are Vx and Vy respectively.By the method of head to tail
we notice that the sum of these vectors is equal to vector .Thus Vx and
component of .

HORIZONTAL COMPONENT
MAGNITUDE OF
VERTICAL COMPONENT
Here we get Tx = Tcosϴ and Ty = TSinϴ actually these horizontal and vertical components are used in the
problem.
