Answer to Question #229738 in Physics for Gino

Question

Given the components of the two Forces, determine the magnitude and the direction of the two Forces. Tx = 12kN & Ty =-5kN; Ux = -8kN & Uy = 22kN

Answer 1

$$T=\sqrt{12^2+5^2}=13\ kN\\ \theta=360-\arctan{\frac{5}{12}}=337\degree$$

$$U=\sqrt{8^2+22^2}=23.4\ kN\\ \alpha=180-\arctan{\frac{22}{8}}=110\degree$$
