Two forces, and , act at a point, as shown in the picture. Figure 1) has a magnitude of 8.00 N and is directed at an angle of ° above the negative x-axis in the second quadrant. has a magnitude of 7.00 N and is directed at an angle of below the negative x-axis in the third quadrant.
Figure 1
A) What is the x component Fx of the resultant force?
B) What is the y component Fy of the resultant force?
C) What is the magnitude F of the resultant force?
D) What is the angle ? that the resultant force forms with the negative x-axis? In this problem, assume that positive angles are measured clockwise from the negative x-axis.
