It is actually caused by the environment, so its false. :)
Explanation:
Let magnitude of the two forces be x and y.
Resultant at right angle R1= √15N) and at
60 degrees be R2= √18N.
Now, R1 = √(x² + y²) = √15,
R2= √(x² + y² +2xycos50) = √18.
So x² + y² = 15,
and x² + y² + 1.29xy = 18,
therefore 1.29xy = 3,
y = 3/1.29x.
y = 2.33/x
Now, x2 + (2.33/x)2 = 15,
x² + 5.45/x² = 15
multiply through by x²
x⁴ + 5.45 = 15x²
x⁴ - 15x2 + 5.45 = 0
Now find the roots of the equation, and later y. The two values of x will correspond to the
magnitudes of the two vectors.
Good luck
Answer:
7.9 x 10^21 pound-force
Explanation:
The average distance between the Earth and sun is 150 trillion meters, or 1.5 x 10^11 meters. The mass of the sun is 1.99 x 10^30 kilograms, while the Earth weighs in at 6.0 x 10^24 kilograms. The gravitational constant is 6.67 x 10^-11 meter^3 / (kilogram - second^2). So the Earth and sun pull on each other with a force equal to 3.52 x 10^22 newtons. The newton is a unit of force equal to a kilogram-meter/second^2. One newton is equal to 0.22 of the rarely used English unit called pound-force, so 3.52 x 10^22 newtons is 7.9 x 10^21 pound-force.
A magnetic field is actually generated by a moving current (or moving electric charge specifically). The magnetic field generated by a moving current can be found by using the right hand rule, point your right thumb in the direction of current flow, then the wrap of your fingers will tell you what direction the magnetic field is. In the case of current traveling up a wire, the magnetic field generated will encircle the wire. Similarly electromagnets work by having a wire coil, and causing current to spin in a circle, generating a magnetic field perpendicular to the current flow (again right hand rule).
So if you were to take a permenant magnet and cut a hole in it then string a straight wire through it... my guess is nothing too interesting would happen. The two different magnetic fields might ineteract in a peculiar way, but nothing too fascinating, perhaps if you give me more context as to what you might think would happen or what made you come up with this question I could help.
