Write each force in component form:
<em>v </em>₁ : 50 N due east → (50 N) <em>i</em>
<em>v</em> ₂ : 80 N at N 45° E → (80 N) (cos(45°) <em>i</em> + sin(45°) <em>j</em> ) ≈ (56.5 N) (<em>i</em> + <em>j</em> )
The resultant force is the sum of these two vectors:
<em>r</em> = <em>v </em>₁ + <em>v</em> ₂ ≈ (106.5 N) <em>i</em> + (56.5 N) <em>j</em>
Its magnitude is
|| <em>r</em> || = √[(106.5 N)² + (56.5 N)²] ≈ 121 N
and has direction <em>θ</em> such that
tan(<em>θ</em>) = (56.5 N) / (106.5 N) → <em>θ</em> ≈ 28.0°
i.e. a direction of about E 28.0° N. (Just to clear up any confusion, I mean 28.0° north of east, or 28.0° relative to the positive <em>x</em>-axis.)
This is true. Gravity is constantly pulling on anything and everything (even light!), no matter how far away it is from another object.
(Mass does not affect the pendulum's swing. The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.)
