Numerical and Graphical Analysis Forces with magnitudes of 180 newtons and 275 newtons act on a hook (see figure). The angle between the two forces is θ degrees.
(a) When
(b) Write the magnitude
(c) Use a graphing utility to complete the table.
θ | 0° | 30° | 60° | 90° | 120° | 150° | 180° |
M | |||||||
α |
(d) Use a graphing utility to graph the two functions
(e) Explain why one of the functions decreases for increasing values of θ, whereas the other does not.
