Question

oints)
Two ropes are attached to a wagon, one horizontal to the west with a tension force of 30 N
and the other east and at an angle of 30° northward and a tension force of 40 N. Find the
components of the net force on the cart. Show all your work.

Answer 1

Answer:Assuming the two ropes are knotted onto the same point of the wagon, the net force is computed of the sum of the two stated.The westward force is Fw = (-30,0); then the northeastward force is Fne = (50*cos(30°),50*sin(30°)).Adding the two is just adding each part, so the resulting force is Fnet = (-30+50*cos(30°),50*sin(30°)).  

Going more than that, the magnitude uses the Pythagorean formula:so √[(-30+50*cos(30°))²+(50*sin(30°))²] which is about 28.32N.
