Question 1062536: Br resolving the forces horizontally and vertically, find the magnitude and direction of the resultant of the 4 forces shown below:


1. F1 : 10N 90 degrees from X-axis (In other words y/ direction-north)
2. F2 : 30N 30 degrees from X-axis (direction-NE)
3. F3 : 20N 10 degrees from X-axis (direction-NE)
4. F4 : 10N 30 degrees belowX-axis (direction-SW)
Answer by josgarithmetic(39623)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Those forces are like this: 
F1:  90 degrees, 10 Newtons
F2:  30 degrees, 30 N
F3:  10 degrees, 20 N
F4:  120 degrees, 10 N


Put them into components.
West-East Component




North-South Component





These forces make an EASTWARD component , and a NORTHWARD component . Units are Newtons.
Decimal Approximations:
EASTWARD 37.017 Newtons
NORTHWARD 23.473 Newtons
