Question

What is the magnitude and direction of the resultant of 4 coplanar forces as follows:

F_{​​​​​​1} vector = 20 N Due East

F_{​​​​​​2} vector = 40 N due West

F_{​​​​​3} vector = 50√2 N due north west

F_{​​​​​4} vector = 20√2 N due south west

Answer 1

here 40 N and 20 N are acting opposite to each other , so the resultant force between them is 40-20=20 N towards West(because 40N the larger force was acting toward West)
the resultant between
