Question

Two equal forces are acting at a point with an angle of 45 between them. If the resultant is equal to
18.5N. Determine the magnitude of each force.

Answer 1

Explanation:

each force has 45° angle

let the resultant be R

so,

Rcos45° = F

18.5 × 1/√2 = F

18.5×√2/2 = F

so, magnitude of force is 8.25√2 N

both force are equal so the magnitude is also equal
