Question

Find the Resultant of Two forces each at 5N acting a point at an angle of 60° with each other
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Find horizontal forces sum

(5 + 5 cos60 ) = 7.5N

Find vertical force

5 sin60 = 4.33 N

Use Pythagorean theorem to find resultant , R

R^2 = 7.5^2 + 4.33^2

R = 8.7 N magnitude
