A snooker ball of mass 0.30kg slides on a frictional (FRICTIONLESS???) horizontal snooker board. Two snooker sticks strike the ball simultaneously.if the force F1 has a magnitude of 5N and points 20 South of East and the F2 has a magnitude of 8 N and points 60 north (OF ???) east. determine.
Force East = Fe = 8 cos 60 + 5 cos 20 = 4+ 4.70 = 8.70
ForceNorth= Fn = 8 sin 60 - 5 sin 20 = 6.93 - 1.71 = 5.22
magnitude = sqrt ( 8.70^2 + 5.22^2)
tangent of angle north of east = Fn/Fe = 5.22/8.70
