Answer:

the normal component of force F_n is F((√(r²-s²)) / r)

the tangential component of force F_t is F(s/r)

Explanation:

Given the data in the image;

from the free body diagram, we write the expression for ∅

sin∅ = s/r

cos∅ = (√(r²-s²)) / r

now expression for normal component of force is;

F_n = Fcos∅

we substitute

F_n = F((√(r²-s²)) / r)

Therefore, the normal component of force F_n is F((√(r²-s²)) / r)

Also for force F_t

F_t = Fsin∅

we substitute

F_t = F(s/r)

Therefore, the tangential component of force F_t is F(s/r)
