To find:The direction and magnitude of the resultant of these forces.
Answer to Problem 81E
Thedirection and the magnitude of resultant
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Three forces with magnitudes of 75 pounds, 100 pounds, and 125 pounds act on an object at angles of
Calculations:
From the given information, the force with magnitude of 75 pounds is
And the force with magnitude of 100 pounds is
And the force with magnitude of 125 pounds is
Thus, the resultant force is
The direction of the resultant force is
The magnitude of the resultant vector is
Conclusion:
Therefore, the direction and the magnitude of resultant vector are
