Determine the resultant of the vectors with the given magnit
Determine the resultant of the vectors with the given magnitudes and directions. A 567, 160n degrees, B 1243, 235 degrees.
Solution
A : 567 N and 160 deg
B: 1243 N and 235 deg
Horizontal = H = 567 cos(160) + 1243 cos(235) = -1245.76 N
Vertical V = 567 sin(160) + 1243 sin(235) = -824.28 N
Total Net = sqrt(V^2 + H^2) = 1493.77 N
Angle = 180 + tan(-824.28/-1245.76) ..due to both are nagative so third quadrant
Angle = 180 + 33.5
Angle = 213.5 deg.
