Question

Two equal forces acting at a point at right
congles to each other have a resultant of
1.14 N. The magnitude of each force is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Two equal forces acting at a point at right angles to each other have a resultant of 1.14 N. The magnitude of each force is​ 0.8061 N.

Explanation:

We use Pythagoras theorem to calculate the resultant force of two angles acting at a right angle.

Therefore let the two angles each be x

The resultant force is the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by the vector of the two forces, which is 1.14N

By using the pythagoras theorem, we can calculate the magnitude of each of the angles.

We will take the two angles to be the base and the height of the triangle fomed

Hence, by using Pythagoras theorem:

            x² + x² = 1.14²

             2x²   = 1.2996

               x²  = 0.6498

               x = √0.6498

               x = 0.8061

x was the magnitude of the two equal angles. Therefore the magnitude of each angles is 0.8061N
