Question

Can someone help me asap please​

Answer 1

Answer:

Resultant force is 20 N

Explanation:

Resolving vertically:

${ \sf{F_{y} = (8 \cos 30 \degree) + (12 \cos 30 \degree) }} \\ { \sf{ \sum F_{y} = 17.3 \: newtons }}$

Resolving horizontally:

${ \sf{F_{x} = (8 \sin 30 \degree) + (12 \sin 30 \degree) }} \\ { \sf{ \sum F _{x} = 10 \: newtons}}$

Resultant force:

${ \boxed{ \bf{F = \sqrt{ {F _{x} }^{2} + {F _{y} }^{2} } }}} \\ { \sf{F = \sqrt{ {17.3}^{2} + {10}^{2} } }} \\ { \sf{F = \sqrt{399.29} }} \\ F = 19.98 \approx20 \: newtons$
