Question
If $F_{B}=2 \mathrm{kN}$ and the resultant force acts along the positive $u$ axis, determine the magnitude of the resultant force and the angle $\theta$.
Step 1
Let's denote the unknown force acting along the positive $v$ axis as $F_A$. The resultant force $F_R$ can be found using the Pythagorean theorem: $F_R = \sqrt{F_A^2 + F_B^2}$ Show more…

If $F_{1}=30 \mathrm{lb}$ and $F_{2}=40 \mathrm{lb}$, determine the angles $\theta$ and $\phi$ so that the resultant force is directed along the positive $x$ axis and has a magnitude of $F_{R}=60 \mathrm{lb}$
If θ = 60° and F = 450 N, determine the magnitude of the resultant force and its direction, measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis.
