Transcribed Image Text:As you will see in a later chapter, forces are vector quantities, and the total force on an object is the vector sum of all forces acting on it.
In the figure below, a force ₁ of magnitude 6.80 units acts on a box at the origin in a direction 0 = 29.0° above the positive x-axis. A second force F2 of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the box in the direction of
the positive y-axis. Find graphically the magnitude and direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of the resultant force ₁ + F2.

Step 1
Here,
F1 = 6.80 units
θ = 29.0o
So,
X-component of F1 = 6.80*cos29 = 5.947 N
Y-component of F1 = 6.80*sin29 = 3.296 N
F2 = 5 N
