The Resultant of Two Forces When they act at the right angle 10N,Whereas when they act at an angle of 60° the resultant is √148.Determine the magnitude of the two forces.
ACT Exam: Preparation Tips
Hello candidate,
The resultant component of any two forces acting at any direction is given as the sum of the individual forces taking the cos component of the angle between them.
So, F= √(F1^2 + F2^2+ 2F1*F2* cos theta), in the given question is mention that the square of two individual vectors is equal to 100, and the other component of 60 degree gives the resultant.
Hence, the individual forces are of 8N and 6N respectively.
Hope it helps!!
