Find the resultant force of the following vectors using rectangular – component method: A = 10 newtons, due east B = 15 newtons, 30 degrees north of east C = 20 newtons, due north D = 10 newtons, 10 degrees south of east
Added by Heather H.
Step 1
For vector A: Ax = 10 N (due east) Ay = 0 N (no north-south component) For vector B: Bx = 15 N * cos(30°) = 15 N * (sqrt(3)/2) = 7.5 * sqrt(3) N By = 15 N * sin(30°) = 15 N * (1/2) = 7.5 N For vector C: Cx = 0 N (no east-west component) Cy = 20 N (due Show more…
