Two forces are exerted on an object. A 32 N force acts at 220° and a 53 N force acts at 315°. What are the magnitude and direction of the equilibrant?

Question

___N
___°

Answer 1

Find the resultant first:

R=32cos220N + 32sin220E + 53Cos315N+53Sin315E

combine the E, and N

Then resultant is at an angle arctanE/N, of magnitude sqrt( Ecomponent^2+Ncomponent^2)

Answer 2

for the equilibrant, add 180 degrees to the resultant

Answer 3

You did this question so wrong it’s insane
