A point on a thin plate is subjected to the two stress components. Determine the resultant state of stress represented on the element oriented as shown on the right.
Two forces are acting on a point. The first force has a horizontal component of 5 newtons and a vertical component of 3 newtons. The second force has a horizontal component of 4 newtons and a vertical component of 2 newtons. (a) Plot the vectors that represent the two forces in the complex plane. (b) Find the horizontal and vertical components of the resultant force acting on the point using the complex plane.

As an introduction to dealing with force vectors, consider the four coplanar forces acting on a body at point $O$ as shown in Fig. 3$1(a)$. Find their resultant graphically. Starting from $O$, the four vectors are plotted in turn as drawn in Fig. $3-1(b) .$ Place the tail end of each vector at the tip end of the preceding one. The arrow from $O$ to the tip of the last vector represents the resultant of the vectors. Measure $R$ from the scale drawing in Fig. $3-1(b)$ and find it to be 119 N. Angle $\alpha$ is measured by protractor and is found to be $37^{\circ}$. Hence, the resultant makes an angle $\theta=180^{\circ}-37^{\circ}=143^{\circ}$ with the positive $x$ -axis. The resultant is $119 \mathrm{~N}$ at $143^{\circ}$.
