To find: the magnitude and direction of the third force.
Answer to Problem 8CFU
Magnitude: 74 N
Direction:
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Let the components be
The third force produces equilibrium on the object.
Calculation:
Now resolve the components as shown below.
The magnitude of the resultant
The direction of the resultant vector is evaluated as follows:
Since third force produces equilibrium on the object, so magnitude of this resultant force will be same but the direction will be opposite, i.e.
Thus the magnitude and direction of resultant vector is 74 N and
