    - Orthogonal resolution: It is a method of splitting a single force into two perpendicular components along x-axis and y-axis.

    - Orthogonal resolution is also known as perpendicular resolution.

    - Generally, a force is resolved into two mutually perpendicular components. The vector sum of these forces is equal to the given force.
