Incomplete question as the angle between the force is not given I assumed angle of 55°.The complete question is here
Two forces, a vertical force of 22 lb and another of 16 lb, act on the same object. The angle between these forces is 55°. Find the magnitude and direction angle from the positive x-axis of the resultant force that acts on the object. (Round to one decimal places.)
Answer:
Resultant Force=33.8 lb
Angle=67.2°
Explanation:
Given data
Fa=22 lb
Fb=16 lb
Θ=55⁰
To find
(i) Resultant Force F
(ii)Angle α
Solution
First we need to represent the forces in vector form
Total Force
The Resultant Force is given as
For(ii) angle
We can find the angle bu using tanα=y/x
So
(a) 392 N/m
Hook's law states that:
(1)
where
F is the force exerted on the spring
k is the spring constant
is the stretching/compression of the spring
In this problem:
- The force exerted on the spring is equal to the weight of the block attached to the spring:
- The stretching of the spring is
Solving eq.(1) for k, we find the spring constant:
(b) 17.5 cm
If a block of m = 3.0 kg is attached to the spring, the new force applied is
And so, the stretch of the spring is
And since the initial lenght of the spring is
The final length will be
