Consider the following free body diagram. 4 forces are acting on one mass. What is the magnitude of the net force? Include units F1 = 12.1N F2 = 4.56N F3 = 5.789N F4 = 10.289N

Step 1
We have F1 and F4 acting in the positive x-direction and F2 acting in the negative x-direction. So, the net force in the x-direction is: F_x = F1 - F2 + F4 = 12 - 4.56 + 10.289 = 17.729 N Show more…

Resultant of two forces F1 and F2 is described by the expression R = 12.4i - 13.5j (N). If F1 is represented by the expression F1 = 7.3i + 4.0j (N), determine the magnitude and the direction of the other force (F2). Draw a diagram representing the force F2 indicating the quadrant in which the force lies.

Three different forces act on an object. They are: F1 = < 5, 8 > F2 = < 3, -5 > F3 = < 6, 0 > Find the net force Fnet on the object (the sum of the forces) Fnet = Find what fourth force, F4 would need to be added so the object feels no force, that is, so Fnet = 0 F4 =
