Answer:
The magnitude of the resultant is 30.4 N.
The resultant angle direction is 25.3°.
Explanation:
To find the resultant of the magnitude and direction for given forces “P” and “Q” are 20 N and 15 N respectively, the angle (θ) between them is 60°.
We know that from triangle law of forces,
Substitute the given values in the above formula,
R = 30.4 N
The magnitude of the resultant is 30.4 N.
To find the direction of the resultant we know that
Substitute the given values in the above formula,
Resultant angle=25.3°
The resultant angle direction is 25.3°.
