Question

Using the same force table that you used, a student was given two forces and asked to find a single force that would produce equilibrium with the two forces. The two forces were given by providing one of the components and the angle the force made with the positive x axis The two forces were as follows: Force 1: Fx = -2.7 N; theta = 220 degrees Force 2: Fy= 3.2 N; theta = 60 degrees Calculate the mass and its angle of application to produce equilibrium with these two forces. Please specify your angle as counterclockwise positive with respect to the positive x axis To calculate the mass, I need to find the magnitude of the force and divide by 9.8 m/s^2. How do I calculate the angle of application to produce equilibrium with the two forces?

Explanation / Answer

to calculate angle u need to take the component forms in x direction and in y direction.

in x direction it is f cos and in y dirction it is f sin.
