Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Cross and Dot Product and Resultant Distinctions**
Two forces act on an object A with an alignment that is orthogonal to the plane formed by the force vectors. The magnitudes of the force vectors are \( F_1 = 2,236 \) N and \( F_2 = 3,733 \) N.
**Show your work:**
(a) Determine the cross product and the dot product of the two force vectors.
(b) Determine the resultant of the two forces and its orientation from the positive x-axis.
(c) Interpret your results.
---
**Explanation of Graph/Diagram:**
The provided diagram is a grid plot showing the vectors \( F_1 \) and \( F_2 \) in an xy-coordinate system.
- The x-axis is labeled as \( X \), and the y-axis is labeled as \( Y \).
- Vector \( F_1 \) originates from the point (0, 0) (denoted as A) and extends to a point approximately at (2.0, 10.0) on the grid.
- Vector \( F_2 \) also originates from the point (0, 0) and extends to a point approximately at (3.5, -3.5) on the grid.
In the diagram:
- Vector \( F_1 \) is represented with positive y-direction.
- Vector \( F_2 \) appears to split into two components along the x and y axes: approximately (3.5) in the positive x-direction and (-4) in the negative y-direction.
The grid lines and markers help in identifying the coordinates and the lengths of the vectors.
