Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the resultant force acting on an object when two forces of magnitudes 3 N and 4 N act at an angle of 60 degrees to each other, we can use the law of cosines. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Forces and the Angle Let: - \( A = 3 \, \text{N} \) (magnitude of the first force) - \( B = 4 \, \text{N} \) (magnitude of the second force) - \( \theta = 60^\circ \) (angle between the two forces) ...
