Two force vectors are oriented such that the angle between their directions is 38 degrees and they have the same magnitude. If their magnitudes are 1.84 newtons, then what is the magnitude of their sum?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Sum of the forces will be equal to 3.479 N

Explanation:

We have given two same forces are oriented at an angle of 38°

Magnitude of each force is given [tex]F_1=F_2=1.84[/tex]

We have to find the sum of the forces

Sum of the forces will be equal to

[tex]F=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2cos\Theta }[/tex]

So sum of the forces will be equal to [tex]F=\sqrt{1.84^2+1.84^2+2\times 1.84\times 1.84\times cos38^{\circ} }=3.479[/tex]

So sum of the force will be equal to 3.479 N
