Applied Mathematics — Second Secondary

Resultant of Coplanar Concurrent Forces

Steps for solving resultant problems

Steps for solving resultant problems

  1. Draw the horizontal and vertical axes, and decide the positive direction of each.
  2. Resolve each force into its two components, giving a negative sign to any component that points in the negative direction of its axis.
  3. Add the horizontal components, then add the vertical components.
  4. Calculate the magnitude and the direction of the resultant.
  5. the magnitude in newtons, and the direction as an angle or in a clear description.
