Kyle is pulling a box east with a force of 300 newtons at a constant angle of 42° to the horizontal.
Jerome is pushing the box from behind with a force of 350 newtons due east.
Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force on the box.

 

Let m = magnitude
Let D = direction

 

1. trigonometric:
m2=3002+35022300350cos(18042)m2=212500+210000cos(42)m2=212500+210000cos(42)m2=212500+2100000.74314482548m2=368560.413350m=607.091766828 Nsin(D)300=sin(18042)msin(D)300=sin(42)msin(D)=300msin(42)sin(D)=300msin(42)sin(D)=300607.091766828sin(42)sin(D)=0.494159229940.66913060636sin(D)=0.33065706517D=19.3086615149

 

2. vectorial:

K=(3500)J=(300cos(42)300sin(42))K+J=(3500)+(300cos(42)300sin(42))K+J=(350+300cos(42)300sin(42))K+J=(572.943447643200.739181908)m=572.9434476432+200.7391819082m=607.091766828 Ntan(D)=200.739181908572.943447643tan(D)=0.35036473972D=19.3086615149
