1) The angle between the two forces is?
2) the second force has a magnitude of ?
Two forces of 536 newtons and 459 newtons act on a point. The resultant force is 957 newtons. Find the angle between the two forces. The angle between the two forces is (Round to the nearest integer.) Solution
We have to use cosine law
r2=a2+b2-2ab cos r
9572=5362+4592-2*536*459 cos r
-417872=492048 cos r
r= cos-1(-417872/492048)=148 degree
