Answer:
4.0
Step-by-step explanation:
F1 . . . 100% of it = 900N is in the +x direction.
F2 . . . 70.7% of it (cos45°, 530.3N) is in the +x direction,
and 70.7% of it (sin45°, 530.3N) is in the +y direction.
F3 . . . 80% of it (520N) is in the -x direction,
and 60% of it (390N) is in the +y direction.
Total x-component: 900 + 530.3 - 520 = 1,950.3 N
Total y-component: 530.3 + 390 = 920.3 N
Magnitude of the resultant = √ (x² + y²)
= √(1950.3² + 920.3²)
= √4,650,070.09
= 2,156.4 N .
Angle of the resultant, measured counterclockwise
from the +x axis, is
tan⁻¹ (y / x)
= tan⁻¹ (920.3 / 1950.3)
= tan⁻¹ (0.4719)
= about 25.3° .
Caution:
The same fatigue that degrades my ability to READ the question accurately
may also compromise the accuracy of my solutions. Before you use this
answer for anything, check it, check it, check it !
I think it might be B. 48 due to the fact 18 • 48 = 864. I think it would be easier to figure out if there was a picture to go with it. Don’t take my word for it though. Sorry.
