Peyton and Tanner were lifting a large boulder and relocating it within their property. Peyton ispushing the boulder with a force of 110 newtons at an angle of 55° with respect to the positivex-axis. Tanner is pulling the boulder with a force of 165 newtons at an angle of 42° with respectto the positive x-axis. Find the magnitude and direction (with respect to the positive x-axis) of theresultant force.

Respuesta :

The direction of both forces will be on the positive x-axis. And the resultant force is 185.64 Newtons.

What is force?

The product of the mass and acceleration is known as force.

Peyton and Tanner were lifting a large boulder and relocating it within their property.

Peyton is pushing the boulder with a force of 110 newtons at an angle of 55° with respect to the positive x-axis.

Tanner is pulling the boulder with a force of 165 newtons at an angle of 42° with respect to the positive x-axis.

The direction of both forces will be on the positive x-axis.

The pushing force will be

→ 110 × cos 55° = 63.09 N

The pulling force will be

→ 165 × cos 42° = 122.62 N

Then the resultant force will be

Resultant force = 63.02 + 122.62 = 185.64 N
