Question

Two forces are applied to the ring of a force table, one at an angle of 20.0 degrees and the other at an angle of 80.0 degrees. regardless of the magnitudes of the forces, choose the correct response below.

The equilibrant will be in the (a) 1st quadrant (b) 2nd quadrant (c) 3rd quadrant (d) 4th quadrant (e) cannot tell which quadrant from the available information.

The resultant will be in the (a) 1st quadrant (b) 2nd quadrant (c) 3rd quadrant (d) 4th quadrant (e) cannot tell which quadrant from the available information

Explanation / Answer

The sum of the two forces (from paralellogram law of vector addition) will be a force that must be at an angle between 20 degrees and 80 degrees So, it must be in the first quadrant ( from 0 degrees to 90 degrees)
