what's your question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the magnitude and true bearing of 3 forces acting on an object are given. find the magnitude and direction of the resultant.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

50lb at 30 degree, 80ld at 125 degree, and 100lb at 220 degree

@jim_thompson5910 sorry i had internet problems

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hmm i know how to work with 2 vectors, but haven't had much practice with 3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

maybe it's a case where you work on them in pairs

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

for instance, say you had these 3 vectors |dw:1364884197565:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know the answer but yeah u start with drawing 3 vectors

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you would find the resultant of the first two to get this |dw:1364884228916:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then you find the resultant of these two vectors here |dw:1364884253389:dw| to get this |dw:1364884283705:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's just a guess though, not sure how to handle 3 vectors

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1364884233201:dw|
