[#167] Components of vectors The vector A in the (x, y) plane has magnitude A = 3.1 and makes angle 0 = 134° with the x axis, where 0 is measured in the geometric or anticlockwise sense. What are the components of A in the x and y directions? Hint: draw a sketch first. Write your answer in the form: x, y. For example: 1.5, 2.0
