The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the resultant of two force vectors, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the forces and their angles We have two forces: - \( F_1 = 6 \, \text{N} \) at an angle of \( 30^\circ \) from the positive x-axis. - \( F_2 = 6 \, \text{N} \) at an angle of \( 90^\circ \) from the positive x-axis. ### Step 2: Resolve the forces into their components We can resolve each force into its x and y components. For \( F_1 \): - \( F_{1x} = F_1 \cdot \cos(30^\circ) = 6 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 3\sqrt{3} \, \text{N} \) - \( F_{1y} = F_1 \cdot \sin(30^\circ) = 6 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 3 \, \text{N} \) For \( F_2 \): - \( F_{2x} = F_2 \cdot \cos(90^\circ) = 6 \cdot 0 = 0 \, \text{N} \) - \( F_{2y} = F_2 \cdot \sin(90^\circ) = 6 \cdot 1 = 6 \, \text{N} \) ### Step 3: Calculate the resultant components Now, we can find the resultant components \( R_x \) and \( R_y \): - \( R_x = F_{1x} + F_{2x} = 3\sqrt{3} + 0 = 3\sqrt{3} \, \text{N} \) - \( R_y = F_{1y} + F_{2y} = 3 + 6 = 9 \, \text{N} \) ### Step 4: Calculate the magnitude of the resultant force The magnitude of the resultant force \( R \) can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem: \[ R = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2} \] Substituting the values: \[ R = \sqrt{(3\sqrt{3})^2 + (9)^2} = \sqrt{27 + 81} = \sqrt{108} = 6\sqrt{3} \, \text{N} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the angle of the resultant force The angle \( \theta \) that the resultant makes with the positive x-axis can be found using the tangent function: \[ \tan(\theta) = \frac{R_y}{R_x} \] Substituting the values: \[ \tan(\theta) = \frac{9}{3\sqrt{3}} = \frac{3}{\sqrt{3}} = \sqrt{3} \] Thus, \[ \theta = 60^\circ \] ### Final Result The magnitude of the resultant force is \( 6\sqrt{3} \, \text{N} \) and it makes an angle of \( 60^\circ \) with the positive x-axis. ---
