Problems Why used $\cos\theta$ for $\text{y}$ axis or, gravitational force?

Force is perpendicular to the surface. And, green color "rod" is parallel to the surface. So, $$F = N - mg\cos \theta=0$$ Reference

Q&A Calculating frequency of oscillation

While force is vector. So, we should use vector addition not "direct addition". From vector addition formula $$C=\sqrt{A^2+B^2+2ABcos\alpha}$$ For force, $$F=Eq$$ $$F=mg$$ $$F=\sqrt{(Eq)^2+(m...
