Three forces act on an object. A 3 N force acts due east and a 7 N force acts due north. If the net force on the object is zero, what is the magnitude of the third force?
Two teenagers are pulling on ropes attached to a tree. The angle between the ropes is 30.0° . David pulls with a force of 400.0 N and Stephanie pulls with a force of 300.0 N. (a) Find the component form of the net force. (b) Find the magnitude of the resultant (net) force on the tree and the angle it makes with David’s rope.
A force ofF1= 50.0 N is directed at an angle of 60° above the x-axis.
A second force of F2 = 50.0 N is directed at an angle of 60.0° below the x-axis.= 50.0 N is directed at an angle of 60.0° below the x-axis.
