Question

What are the methods for finding at the
resultant force for a given system of forces.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Draw a free-body diagram of the object
2. Draw coordinate axes on the free-body diagram
3. Decompose the forces acting on the object into x and y components
4. Calculate the x and y components of the resultant force by adding the x and y components of all forces
5. Finally, find the magnitude and direction of the resultant force by using its x and y components
