An 11N force acting due north and a 22-N force acting 30° North of east act concurrently on a point. What is the equilibrant force at that point? I'm having such a hard time.=(

1 answer

find resultant and do the opposite.

north
11 + 22 sin 30

east
22 cos 30

magnitude = sqrt(north^2 + east^2)

tan angle north of east
= north/east

you want that magnitude
but opposite direction, same angle south of west
