Determine the corresponding components of the resultant vector:


Ax=7 N,Ay=0,Bx=5cos35°=4.1 N,By=5sin35°=2.9 N,Cx=3cos36°=2.4 N,Cy=3sin36°=1.8 N. Rx=Ax+Bx+Cx=9.5 N,Ry=Ay+By+Cy=1.1 N,R=Rx2+Ry2=9.6 N, θ=arctanRyRx=6.6° above x-axis.A_x=7\text{ N},\\ A_y=0,\\ B_x=5\cos35°=4.1\text{ N},\\ B_y=5\sin35°=2.9\text{ N},\\ C_x=-3\cos36°=-2.4\text{ N},\\ C_y=-3\sin36°=-1.8\text{ N}.\\\space\\ R_x=A_x+B_x+C_x=9.5\text{ N},\\ R_y=A_y+B_y+C_y=1.1\text{ N},\\ R=\sqrt{R_x^2+R_y^2}=9.6\text{ N},\\\space\\ \theta=\arctan\frac{R_y}{R_x}=6.6°\text{ above x-axis}.
