Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the resultant of two forces, one of 12 N due east and the other of 9 N due north, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Forces - Let \( F_1 = 12 \, \text{N} \) (due east) - Let \( F_2 = 9 \, \text{N} \) (due north) ### Step 2: Set Up the Coordinate System - We can consider east as the positive x-direction and north as the positive y-direction. ...
