Question

In the drawing, what is the vector sum of forces A→+B→+C→ if each grid square is 7.00 N on a side? If the resultant is eastward, enter a positive value and if the resultant is westward, enter a negative value.

Answer 1

resultant force = 14 N ( East direction)

Step-by-step explanation:

A = √( (4*7)² + (4*7)² )

A = 39.6 N

B = 4 * 7

B = 28 N

C = 2 * 7

C = 14 N

∑ y forces = Ay - B = (4*7) - 28 = 0

∑ x forces = Ax - C = (4*7) - 14 = 14 N

so the resultant force = 14 N ( East direction)
