Solid because the particles vibrate in place
Explanation:
The magnitude of the net force can be found with Pythagorean theorem.
F² = Fx² + Fy²
F² = (1.06 N)² + (9.37 N)²
F = 9.43 N
The direction can be found with trigonometry (measured from the -y axis):
θ = atan(Fx / Fy)
θ = atan(1.06 / 9.37)
θ = 6.45°
A scalar or scalar quantity in physics is a physical quantity that can be described by a single element of a number field such as a real number, often accompanied by units of measurement. A scalar is usually said to be a physical quantity that only has magnitude and no other characteristics.
