An object is being acted upon by three forces and as a result moves with a constant velocity. One force is 17.7 N along the +x-axis and the second is 23.4 N along the +y-axis. What is the magnitude of the third force?

Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the magnitude of the third force using the formula for finding the resultant force of two forces: \[ F_{3} = \sqrt{F_{1}^2 + F_{2}^2} \] Show more…

Two known forces F1 = 2.55 N at 76.0° below the +x axis and F2 = 2.80 N at 35.0° below the –x axis are acting on an object. What is the magnitude of the third force F3 so that the acceleration of the object is zero?
