Two forces are acting on an object. Force 1 on the object is 6.0 N and to the right at zero degrees. Force 2 on the object is 8.0 N upwards, or 90 degrees. At what angle should a force be applied that perfectly balances the forces acting on the object?

Respuesta :

Answer:

233.12 deg

Explanation:

[tex]F_{1}[/tex] = Force acting on the object in right direction = 6.0 N

[tex]F_{2}[/tex] = Force acting on the object in upward direction = 8.0 N [tex]\theta[/tex] = Angle made by the resultant force relative to right direction

From the diagram , Angle made by the resultant force relative to right direction is given as

[tex]\theta = tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{F_{2}}{F_{1}} \right )[/tex]

[tex]\theta = tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{8}{6} \right )[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 53.12[/tex] deg

[tex]\phi[/tex] = Angle of equilibrium force relative to the right direction

From the diagram, Angle of equilibrium force relative to the right direction is given as

[tex]\phi = \theta  + 180[/tex]

[tex]\phi = 53.12  + 180[/tex]

[tex]\phi = 233.12[/tex] deg
