What is the resultant vector for the following?Two vectors F1 and F2 where F1 = 34 N and F2= 65 N with F1 forming an angle of 240 degrees and F2 an...

The two vectors provided are F1 and F2 which have a
magnitude of 34 N and 65 N resp. and which form an angle of 240 degrees and 25 degrees
resp. with the positive x- axis.


Now we split the two
vectors into their x and y components.


We see that F1x =
-34* sin 30 and F1y = -34 * cos 30.


For the vector F2, F2x
= 65 *cos 25 and F2y = 65*sin 25.


Let the resultant vector
be denoted as F.


Fx = 65*cos 25 - 34*sin 30 =
41.91


Fy = 65*sin 25 - 34*cos 30 =
-1.97


The magnitude of the resultant vector is sqrt
(41.91^2 + 1.97^2)


=> 41.95
N


The direction of the resultant vector is arc tan (
41.91/(-1.97)) = -87.3 degrees.


Therefore the required
resultant vector of the given vectors has a magnitude of 41.95 N and an angle of -87.3
degrees to the positive x-axis.
