Two forces 10 N acting in the direction N 30 east and 15 N acting in the eastern direction, if both forces act at a point, find the magnitude and direction of (a) the resultant force (b) the equilibriant force.

2 3/7 + 3/8 = 2 45/56 OR 2.804

y = 12x - 3 ... (1) y = -2x + 4 ... (2) subtract (1) from (2) 14x - 7 = 0 14x = 7 x = 7/14 = 0.5 substitute 0.5 for x in (1) y = 12(0.5) - 3 y = 6 - 3 y = 3
