I find that this is not one of the easiest tasks for students to get to grips with and so this video is aimed at showing how a force can be split into two components at right angles. It then aims to show that the one that includes the angle uses cos and the one that excludes the angle is sin so as to help make solutions quicker in force diagrams.
