Find the resultant force for each system of forces shown.
a.
The resultant of the given forces.
Answer to Problem 2.1P
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Concept used:
Resultant force the two forces is
Calculation:
In the figure the X is moving in right direction so we will take “+ sign”.
And, the Y is moving in downward direction, so we are taking Y value in “- sign”
The resultant is given by
Conclusion:
Therefore, the resultant of the given forces is
b.
The resultant of the given forces.
Answer to Problem 2.1P
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The forces are
Concept used:
Resultant force the two forces is
Calculation:
In the figure the X is moving in right direction so we will take “+ sign”.
And, the Y is moving in upward direction, so we are taking Y value in “+ sign”
The resultant is given by
Conclusion:
Therefore, the resultant of the given force is
c.
The resultant of the given forces.
Answer to Problem 2.1P
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given forces are
Concept used:
Resultant force the two forces is
Calculation:
In the figure the X is moving in left direction so we will take “- sign”.
And, the Y is moving in downward, so we are taking Y value in “- sign”
We know that the resultant is given by
Conclusion:
Therefore, the resultant of the given force is
