Question

the resultant of two perpendicular forces acting at a point is 15 n if one of the forces has magnitude of 12 n then the magnitude of the other force is

Answer 1

Answer:

The magnitude of the other force is 9 N

Explanation:

Clearly the perpendicular forces are the rectangular components of the resualtant force.

We can use the formula R=√A^2+B^2

where R is the resultant force,A and B are the components.
