Question

Two workers pull horizontally on a heavy box, but one pulls twice as hard as the other. The larger pull is directed at 25.0 west of north, and the resultant of these two pulls is 380.0 N directly northward.

a)

Use vector components to find the magnitude of each of these pulls. Assume that the smaller pull has a component directed to the north.

Enter your answers numerically separated by a comma.

b)

Use vector components to find the direction of the smaller pull. Assume that the smaller pull has a component directed to the north.

Explanation / Answer

let the smal force be F, since the larger is twice as hard as the other we can take it as 2F.

it is mentioned that the resultant is in the direction northward, then how come the the smaller pull has a component directed to the northward

it is mentioned that the resultant is in the direction northward

kindly check the question once

thank u
