Question

Two forces of 20 N and 10 N are making an angle of 120o with each other. Find the single pull that would a. replace the given forces, b. balance the given forces.

Answer 1

Answer:

let,F1 = 20 N

F2= 10 N

therefore, the single force replacing the given forces is=

$\sqrt{(400 + 100 + (2 \times 20 \times 10 \times \cos(120)) = 17.320) }$
