Answer:
Fn: magnitude of the net force.
Fn=30.11N , oriented 75.3 ° clockwise from the -x axis
Explanation:
Components on the x-y axes of the 17 N force(F₁)
F₁x=17*cos48°= 11.38N
F₁y=17*sin48° = 12.63 N
Components on the x-y axes of the the second force(F₂)
F₂x= −19.0 N
F₂y= 16.5 N
Components on the x-y axes of the net force (Fn)
Fnx= F₁x +F₂x= 11.38N−19.0 N= -7.62 N
Fny= F₁y +F₂y= 12.63 N +16.5 N = 29.13 N
Magnitude of the net force.
Direction of the net force (β)
β=75.3°
Magnitude and direction of the net force
Fn= 30.11N , oriented 75.3 ° clockwise from the -x axis
In the attached graph we can observe the magnitude and direction of the net force
