Answer to Question #297713 in Mechanics | Relativity for angel

Question

The resultant of the two forces has a magnitude of 650 N. Determine the direction of the resultant and the magnitude of P

Answer 1

P=650N

Horizontal components

$P_y=Pcos\theta$

$P_y=650cos60°=325N$

Vertical components

$P_x=Psin\theta$

$P_x=650sin60=562.91N$

Direction

$Vertical components to 60°$
