The graph below represents the forces on the central ring exerted by two masses

Question

The graph below represents the forces on the central ring exerted by two masses hung off the sides of the force table.

Part A

What is the angle between the x axis and the larger magnitude force vector?

Express your answer in degrees, with 3 significant figures.

Part B

What is the magnitude of the larger vector force? Let one square be one Newton on a side.

Express your answer with 3 significant figures.

Part C

What is the angle between the x axis and the smaller force vector (use the regular convention, where the angle is measured counter-clockwise from the x axis to the vector)?Part C

Express your answer in degrees, with 3 significant figures.

Part D

Explanation / Answer

A) theta = tan^-1(3/6)

= 26.57 degrees

B) |F| = sqrt(6^2 + 3^3)

= 6.7 N

C) theta = 180 - tan^-(2/3)

= 146.3 degrees

D) 1st graph ( Fx = -3N and Fy = -5N)
