Finding the resultant in th x direction ,Rx and y for the following forces f1 =1,5N in the positive x direction
To find the resultant in the x-direction (Rx) and y-direction for the given force f1 = 1.5N in the positive x-direction, you'll need to consider the concept of vector addition.
1. Start by expressing the given force f1 as a vector. Since it is in the positive x-direction, its x-component (f1x) will be equal to its magnitude (1.5N), and its y-component (f1y) will be zero since it has no vertical component.
2. Next, combine the x-components and y-components separately to find the resultant in each direction. For the x-direction (Rx), sum up all the x-components of the forces acting in that direction (in this case, only f1x): Rx = f1x = 1.5N. There are no other forces in the x-direction in this scenario.
3. For the y-direction, sum up the y-components of all the forces that act in that direction. Since f1 has no y-component, the resultant in the y-direction (Ry) would be zero: Ry = 0N.
So, the resultant in the x-direction is Rx = 1.5N, and the resultant in the y-direction is Ry = 0N.
