Question

Two forces A and B applied together on object C.  Force A has an magnitude of 36.3 and making an angle of 19.6 degrees with respect to positive x axis. Force B has  an magnitude of 27.7 and making an angle of 22.4 with respect to negative y axis. What is the magnitude of the net force of A and B on object C?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The vector notation of force

F1=F1(cosθ x^+sinθ y^)

Here F1 is the magnitude of the force and θ is the angle made with x-axis

The  force vector

F2=F2(sinθ x^-cosθ y^)

Here F2 is the magnitude of the force and θ is the angle made with  -y-axis
