A boy is under the action of two forced 7newton and 10newton the resultany of the two forced if the two forced are inclined at an angle of 60degree to each other
To find the resultant of the two forces, we can use the concept of vector addition. The resultant force is the vector sum of the individual forces. Here's how you can calculate it:
1. Start by drawing a diagram representing the situation. Label one force as F1 = 7 Newton and the other force as F2 = 10 Newton.
2. Next, draw the vectors for each force, making sure they have the correct magnitudes and are inclined at an angle of 60 degrees to each other.
3. To find the resultant force, use the parallelogram law of vector addition. Draw a parallelogram using the vectors representing the forces. The diagonal of the parallelogram passing through the point of intersection of the two vectors represents the resultant force.
4. Measure the length of the diagonal, and this will give you the magnitude of the resultant force.
5. To find the direction of the resultant force, measure the angle that the resultant force makes with one of the original forces. This angle can be measured clockwise or counterclockwise.
By following these steps, you can find both the magnitude and direction of the resultant force acting on the boy.
