Given Fa = 38N [E25oN] and Fb = 45 N [S25oE], calculate the force Fc needed so that the

summation of all the forces is zero.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

  58.9 N [W24.8°N]

Explanation:

The vectors are at right angles, so the magnitude of their sum is ...

  √(38² +45²) ≈ 58.9 . . . . newtons

The angle Fc makes with Fa can be found using the arctangent:

  angle between Fa and Fc = arctan(45/38) ≈ 49.8°

The direction required for the sum of the vectors to be zero is the opposite of [E(49.8° -25°)S], so is [W24.8°N]

The vector that makes the sum zero is 58.9 N [W24.8°N].
