As you will see in a later chapter, forces are vector quantities, and the total force on an object is the vector sum of all forces acting on it. In the figure below, a force ₁ of magnitude 6.80 units acts on a box at the origin in a direction 0 = 29.0° above the positive x-axis. A second force F2 of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the box in the direction of the positive y-axis. Find graphically the magnitude and direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of the resultant force ₁ + F2. magnitude direction F₂ F₁ i units ° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
Two forces FA and FB are applied to an object whose mass is 10.2 kg. The larger force is FA. When both forces point due east, the object's acceleration has a magnitude of 0.483 m/s². However, when FA points due east and FB points due west, the acceleration is 0.389 m/s², due east. Find (a) the magnitude of FA and (b) the magnitude of FB.
