the following example is given:
vector1 =+(60.0N)i+(103.9N)j
vector2 =+(75.2N)i−(27.4N)j
vector 3=−(100.0N)i+(0.0N)j
vecor net =+(35.2N)i+(76.5N)j
Convert this net force to polar coordinates; that is, find the total vector magnitude and angle.
If three forces, 1 , 2 , and 3 , are in equilibrium, what is the relationship between the sum of the first two forces and the third force? Write your answer as an equation.
onsider the vector = −(51.7 N)i + (63.9 N)j
(a) Convert this value to polar coordinates (magnitude and angle).
(b) When converting this to polar coordinates, what answer does your calculator give
you for the angle of the vector? Explain whether this is correct or not (including the correct angle if applicable).
There are two numbers located on a plane represented mathematically by. A = (85 N, 180 N). And the other vector quantity is B = 140N with an angle of minus 10 degrees, Applying the method of the Law of Sines and Cosines, Determine: a) the magnitude and direction of the resultant force and b) the direction of the balancing force.
find the angle between two vector forces whose magnitude are F and 3F and the magnitude of whose resultant is 3F
