Question

Two forces of magnitude 25 pounds and 40 pounds act on an object. The force of 40 lb acts along the positive x-axis, and the force of 25 lb acts at an angle of 80° with the positive x-axis. Find the direction and magnitude of the resultant force.How the mean value theorem is used in this problem?

Answer 1

Two forces, a horizontal force of 45  and another of 52 lb, act on the same object. The angle between these forces is  Find the magnitude and direction angle from the positive  -axis of the resultant force that acts on the object. (Round to two decimal places.)
