TWO FORCES OF 60N AND 80N RESPECTIVELY ACT SIMULTANEOUSLY AT A POINT .SKETCH AND DETERMINE THEIR RESULTANT BY USING TAIL TO HEAD METHOD
it depends on the angle between the vectors.
Ddffffff
What if you don't have angles at all?how are going to draw your sketch???
Please can u add my number at whatsapp 0810600596 o thatwe can continue
Two forces of 60n and 80n respectively act simultaneously at a point stretch and determine their resultant by using the following methods.
1.tail to head
140
To determine the resultant of the two forces using the tail-to-head method, follow these steps:
Step 1: Draw a scaled diagram
Draw a line segment to represent the first force of 60N. Label this line segment as "60N." Next, draw a line segment starting from the endpoint of the first force in the direction of the second force of 80N. Label this line segment as "80N." The diagram should resemble two line segments sharing an endpoint and pointing in different directions.
Step 2: Complete the parallelogram
Complete the parallelogram by drawing two lines parallel to the initial line segments. The first parallel line should start from the endpoint of the second force of 80N and intersect with the line representing the first force of 60N. The second parallel line should start from the endpoint of the first force of 60N and intersect with the line representing the second force of 80N. This will create a parallelogram shape.
Step 3: Determine the resultant
Draw a diagonal line connecting the tails of the two forces. This diagonal line represents the resultant force. Measure the length of this diagonal line and scale it down according to your diagram's scale. This length will represent the magnitude of the resultant force.
Step 4: Determine the direction of the resultant
The direction of the resultant force can be determined by measuring the angle between the diagonal line representing the resultant force and the line segment representing the first force of 60N. This angle can be measured using a protractor. Note the angle.
Step 5: Calculate the magnitudes and angle
Using a ruler or a scale, measure the length of each force line in the diagram (60N and 80N) and note those measurements. These measurements represent the magnitudes of the respective forces. Also, refer to the angle you measured in Step 4.
Finally, you have all the information you need to determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force.
