Question

Two forces are acting on an object. Force 1 has a magnitude of33.0 N pointing due north. Force 2 has a magnitude of 88.1 Npointing 22.0 degrees south of west. What is the net force? a. 120 N b. 93.0 N c. 81.7 N West d. 72.3 N at 5 degrees north of west Two forces are acting on an object. Force 1 has a magnitude of33.0 N pointing due north. Force 2 has a magnitude of 88.1 Npointing 22.0 degrees south of west. What is the net force? a. 120 N b. 93.0 N c. 81.7 N West d. 72.3 N at 5 degrees north of west

Explanation / Answer

You need to put the vectors into x-y coordinates Force 1: (0,33) Force 2: x component: 88.1N * cos202 = -81.68N               y component: 88.1N * sin202 = -33N        (-81.68N, -33N) + (0,33) = (-81.68N, 0) The answer is C
