Answer:

  138.06 lb N86.1°E

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways you can work this. One of the most straightforward is to resolve each vector into its north and east components, add those, and then covert the result back to magnitude and direction.

A diagram can help immensely.

We note that S78°E is the same as E12°S. Since we're used to seeing the coordinate system with the +x axis aligned with east, it can be convenient to think of the first force as 100 lb at -12°.

The angle of the second force is N53°E, which can be expressed as E37°N. Then in x-y coordinates, this force is 50 lb at +37°.

The components of the sum are the sum of the components:

  R = F1 +F2 = (100cos(-12°) +50cos(37°), 100sin(-12°) +50sin(37°))

  = (137.747, 9.300)

The the magnitude of the resultant is computed using the Pythagorean theorem:

  ||R|| = √(137.747² +9.300²) ≈ 138.06

and the angle is computed using the arctangent function. Here, our diagram tells us the angle is in the first quadrant, so is positive (relative to +x, or East).

  ∠R = arctan(9.300/137.747) ≈ 3.9°

__

We want to express the answer in terms similar to the way the given forces are expressed, so we want the angle relative to north. The resultant is then described by ...

  R = 138.06 lb at N86.1°E

Given: ZDEF is a right angle. Using a paragraph proof, prove 41 is acute.
Slav-nsk [51]

Let G be some point on the diagonal line away from point E.

Angle DEG represents angle 1.

We're given that angle DEF is a right angle which means it's 90 degrees. Angle DEG is some angle smaller than 90 degrees. By definition, that must mean angle 1 is acute. Any acute angle is smaller than 90 degrees. There's not much else to say other than this is just a definition problem.

----------------

Extra side notes:

If angle 1 was a right angle, then that would mean angle GEF would have to be 0 degrees; however the diagram shows this isn't the case.

If angle 1 was obtuse, then there's no way we'd be able to fit it into angle DEF. In other words, there's no way to have an angle larger than 90 fit in a 90 degree angle.

The vector ab has a magnitude of 20 units and is parallel to the<br> vector 4i + 3j.<br> find ab.
stepladder [879]

The vector ab has a magnitude of 20 units and is parallel to the

vector 4i + 3j. Hence, The vector AB is 16i + 12j.

<h3>How to find the vector?</h3>

If we have given a vector v of initial point A and terminal point B

v = ai + bj

then the components form as;

AB = xi + yj

Here, xi and yj are the components of the vector.

Given;

The vector ab has a magnitude of 20 units and is parallel to the

vector 4i + 3j.

magnitude

\sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} \\\\\sqrt{16 + 9} \\\\= 5

Unit vector in direction of resultant = (4i + 3j) / 5

Vector of magnitude 20 unit in direction of the resultant

= 20  x (4i + 3j) / 5

= 4 x (4i + 3j)

= 16i + 12j

Hence, The vector AB is 16i + 12j.
