Find the resultant of each pair of forces acting on an object
Q: forces of 6 N southwest and 8 N northwest
I got 10 for the resultant, but how do I find the angle?
The answer is apparently is 10 N, N82degW
Having a hard time visualizing this...
Using the usual x-y co-ordinate system, northwest is 135\(\displaystyle ^{\circ}\) and southwest is 225\(\displaystyle ^{\circ}\). So you have a vector of magnitude 8 at 135\(\displaystyle ^{\circ}\) and a vector of magnitude 6 at 225\(\displaystyle ^{\circ}\). Add them.Find the resultant of each pair of forces acting on an object

You really do not know the angle? What is your teacher teaching you?Find the resultant of each pair of forces acting on an object
