- Magnitude: 12.1 N.
- Direction: 17.0° to the 8 N force.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
Refer to the diagram attached (created with GeoGebra). Consider the 5 N force in two directions: parallel to the 8 N force and normal to the 8 N force.
.
.
The sum of forces on each direction will be the resultant force on that direction:
- Resultant force parallel to the 8 N force:
. - Resultant force normal to the 8 N force:
.
Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the magnitude of the resultant force.
(3 sig. fig.).
The size of the angle between the resultant force and the 8 N force can be found from the tangent value of the angle. Tangent of the angle:
.
Find the size of the angle using inverse tangent:
.
In other words, the resultant force is 17.0° relative to the 8 N force.
Answer:
Time taken by A and B is 1.2 hr.
Explanation:
Given that
Time taken by tank when all(A+B+C) are open = 1 hr
Time taken by tank when A+C are open = 1.5 hr
Time taken by tank when B+C are open = 2 hr
If we treat as filling of tank is a work then
Work = time x rate
Lets take work is 1 unit
1 = 1(1/a+1/b+1/c) ---------1
1 = 1.5(1/a+1/c) ----------2
1 = 2(1/b+1/c) --------3
From equation 1 and 3
1=1(1/a+1/2)
a=2
Form equation 2
1 = 1.5(1/2+1/c)
c=6
From equation 3
1 = 2(1/b+1/6)
b=3
So time taken by
A is alone to fill tank is 2 hr
B is alone to fill tank is 3 hr
C is alone to fill tank is 6 hr
So 
Time taken by A and B is 1.2 hr.
