Two forces, vector F1 and F2, act at a point. The magnitude of F1 is 9.50 N, and its direction is an angle 65.0 degrees above the negative direction of x-axis in the second quadrant. The magnitude of F2 is 5.50 N, and its direction is an angle 53.1 degrees below the negative direction of x-axis in the third quadrant.
Part A: What is the x-component of the resultant force?
Part B: What is the y-component of the resultant force?
Part C: What is the magnitude of the resultant force?
We can write these forces in vector form as
and
So, the resultant force is
A.
So, the x-component of resultant force is 7.32 N.
B.
the y-component of the resultant force is 4.2 N.
C.
The magnitude of the resultant force is
