Two muscles on the back of the leg pull upwards on the Achilles tendon. Each force makes an angle of θ=20∘θ=20∘ with the vertical, with one pulling up and to the right and the other pulling up and to the left. Each force has a magnitude F=F=573 N.Write an expression for the magnitude of the sum, FsumFsum, of these two forces. What is the magnitude, in newtons, of the sum of these two forces?
Using the method of components, find the resultant of the following concurrent forces. Note: After solving for the Angle of the Resultant, you must then determine the Direction of the Resultant relative to Horizontal (positive x-axis) in a CCW (counter-clockwise direction). Sometimes the Direction of the Resultant may be the same as the Angle of the Resultant. However, you must always calculate both: the Angle of the Resultant (based on the Resultant triangle sketch) and then the Direction of the Resultant based on Horizontal (positive x-axis) in a CCW direction from horizontal.
