Question

Four masses are positioned at the corners of a rectangle, as indicated in the figure below (not to scale). (a) Find the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on the 2.0 kg mass if x = 0.26 m and y = 0.11 m. Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. N (magnitude) Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully.degree counterclockwise from the x-axis, which points to the right (b) How do your answers to part (a) change (if at all) if all sides of the rectangle are doubled in length? The magnitude of the force will be unchanged. The magnitude of the force will be reduced by a factor of two. The magnitude of the force will be reduced by a factor of four. The direction will remain unchanged. The direction will shift clockwise. The direction will shift counterclockwise.
