Answer
Step-by-step solution
4 stepsCalculate the net horizontal force.
We'll consider forces to the right as positive and forces to the left as negative.
Calculate the net vertical force.
We'll consider forces downwards as negative.
Calculate the magnitude of the resultant net force.
The magnitude of the net force is found using the Pythagorean theorem:
Calculate the direction of the resultant net force.
The angle with respect to the positive x-axis (horizontal to the right) is given by:
This means the force is below the horizontal, in the fourth quadrant.
The magnitude of the net force is at an angle of .
