a force of 140 lbs acts on a nobject at an angle of 18 degrees with the horizontal. A second force of 325 acts on the same object with a angle of -9 degrees with the horizon. find magnitude and direction of resultant force.
gonna have to break them into their component parts
Is the really supposed to help me?
yeah, its spose to get you to consider what youve covered in your lessons and then apply it
so how am i supposed to do this problem?
using vector analysis
what have you covered in your material?
dude im in pre calc i have no clue what that is
in precalc you cover how to convert xy coords trig equivalent
your not helping
since any xy coord can form a right triangle, we can define the xy parts into sin and cos functions
oh im helping .... all youve contributed so far doesnt amount to a hill of beans :)
