Answer:
F₄ = 29.819 N
Explanation:
Given
F₁ = (- 25*Cos 50° i + 25*Sin 50° j + 0 k) N
F₂ = (12*Cos 50° i + 12*Sin 50° j + 0 k) N
F₃ = (0 i + 0 j + 4 k) N
Then we have
F₁ + F₂ + F₃ + F₄ = 0
⇒ F₄ = - (F₁ + F₂ + F₃)
⇒ F₄ = - ((- 25*Cos 50° i + 25*Sin 50° j) N + (12*Cos 50° i + 12*Sin 50° j) N + (4 k) N) = (13*Cos 50° i - 37*Sin 50° j - 4 k) N
The magnitude of the force will be
F₄ = √((13*Cos 50°)² + (- 37*Sin 50°)² + (- 4)²) N = 29.819 N
Inertia depends on mass, the more mass the more inertia.
Since its a sphere, the top is seen first because its the tallest part if the ship. If the earth was flat, the whole ship would be seen.
