Answer:
Fₓ = maₓ
Fy = may
Explanation:
The Newton's Second Law tells us about the force. It says whenever an unbalanced force is applied to a body, an acceleration is produced in that body. The direction of this acceleration is in the direction of the force itself. Hence, the law can be written as:
F = ma
where,
F = Unbalanced force
m = mass of body
a = acceleration magnitude
We, can write two equations separately for x-direction and y-direction as follows:
Fₓ = maₓ
Fy = may
where,
Fₓ = x-component of unbalanced force
aₓ = x-component of acceleration
Fy = y-component of unbalanced force
ay = y-component of acceleration
