The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the magnitudes of the forces \( \vec{F}_1 \) and \( \vec{F}_2 \) given that the resultant force has a magnitude of 50 N and is inclined at angles of 60° and 30° to \( \vec{F}_1 \) and \( \vec{F}_2 \) respectively. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Geometry**: - We have two forces \( \vec{F}_1 \) and \( \vec{F}_2 \). - The resultant \( \vec{R} \) has a magnitude of 50 N. - The angle between \( \vec{R} \) and \( \vec{F}_1 \) is 60°. - The angle between \( \vec{R} \) and \( \vec{F}_2 \) is 30°. 2. **Using the Cosine Rule**: - From the geometry of the triangle formed by \( \vec{F}_1 \), \( \vec{F}_2 \), and \( \vec{R} \), we can use the cosine of the angles to find the components of the forces. - For \( \vec{F}_1 \): \[ \cos(60°) = \frac{F_1}{R} \] Substituting \( R = 50 \): \[ \cos(60°) = \frac{F_1}{50} \] Since \( \cos(60°) = \frac{1}{2} \): \[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{F_1}{50} \] Therefore, multiplying both sides by 50: \[ F_1 = 50 \times \frac{1}{2} = 25 \text{ N} \] 3. **Finding \( \vec{F}_2 \)**: - Now, for \( \vec{F}_2 \): \[ \cos(30°) = \frac{F_2}{R} \] Substituting \( R = 50 \): \[ \cos(30°) = \frac{F_2}{50} \] Since \( \cos(30°) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \): \[ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{F_2}{50} \] Therefore, multiplying both sides by 50: \[ F_2 = 50 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 25\sqrt{3} \text{ N} \] 4. **Final Result**: - The magnitudes of the forces \( \vec{F}_1 \) and \( \vec{F}_2 \) are: \[ F_1 = 25 \text{ N}, \quad F_2 = 25\sqrt{3} \text{ N} \] ### Summary of Results: - The magnitudes of \( \vec{F}_1 \) and \( \vec{F}_2 \) are \( 25 \text{ N} \) and \( 25\sqrt{3} \text{ N} \) respectively.
