Two forces act on an object. The first force has a magnitude of 19.0 N and is oriented 58.0° counter-clockwise from the x axis, while the 2nd force has x- and y-components (-25.0 N, 16.5 N). Express the magnitude and direction of the net force.

Answer 1

F1 + F2 = 19[58o] + -25+16.5i =
19*Cos58+i19*sin58 -25 + 16.5i =
10.1 + 16.1i - 25 + 16.5i=-14.9+32.6i,Q2
= 35.8N.[65.4o] N. of W. = 35.8N[144.2o]
