Find the magnitude and direction of the Resultant, R
|dw:1426114184615:dw| The parallelogram rule is to be used. thank you.
1.Are the forces in equilibrium? 2. is the resultant vector anti-parallel to F3?
3.which direction do all the forces act on the object? Posting the question would probably be better.
Need to give u an attachment!!!!
@VeritasVosLiberabit Actually, the diagram I drew was the definition of confusion. So, now since I understand fully what's going on, I'll re-draw it.|dw:1426192067654:dw| Basically I have to determine the force of the resultant, R as well as it's angle (theta). I understand I'm suppose to use the cosine rule. ( I got 0.5N) and the sine rule to determine the angle? But I was also told that on my scale diagram, the angle that i will find for should be the same. However, it wasn't the same and I have no idea how to let my calculations correspond with my diagram. I probably did something wrong :/ or maybe that wasn't the angle I needed to find? And then the confusion steps in. So, can you help?
|dw:1426192616171:dw| Oh and the entire angle there is 140 deg, as indicated on the diagram
