<h3>Answer</h3>
6.6 N pointing to the right
<h3>Explanation</h3>
Given that,
two forces acting of magnitude 3.6N
angle between them = 48°
To find,
the third force that will cause the object to be in equilibrium
<h3>1)</h3>
Find the vertical and horizontal components of the two forces
vertical force1 = sin(24)(3.6)
vertical force2= -sin(24)(3.6)
<em>(negative sign since it is acting on opposite direction)</em>
vertical force3 = sin(24)(3.6) - sin(24)(3.6)
= 0
<h3>2)</h3>
horizontal force1 = cos(24)(3.6)
horizontal force2= cos(24)(3.6)
horizontal force3 = cos(24)(3.6) + cos(24)(3.6)
= 2(cos(24)(3.6))
= 6.5775 N
≈ 6.6 N
