Find the resultant of the following forces; 300 N at exactly 0°; 400 N, 30° N of E. Use any method. Draw the diagram of these vector forces in the Cartesian plane. (5 points for the diagram, 10 points for the resultant)
Added by Jeffrey M.
Step 1
Let \( \textbf{F}_1 = 300 \textbf{i} \) (since it is at 0°) and \( \textbf{F}_2 = 400 \cos(30°) \textbf{i} + 400 \sin(30°) \textbf{j} \) (since it is 30° N of E). Show more…
