Question

Consider these two situations of forces (force is measured in a quantity known as Newton's (N)) exerted on an object: Do these two situations represent the same "Total" force exerted on an object (use graphical analysis to help answer this questions)? Explain. Is there a relationship between A^rightarrow, B^rightarrow and C^rightarrow? Is there a way to relate the magnitude of A^rightarrow to the magnitude of C^rightarrow? Is there a relationship between the magnitudes of A^rightarrow, B^rightarrow and C^rightarrow? Do you have any questions?

Explanation / Answer

1) yes , the total force acting on the object is same in both cases as the x and y component of force C is equal to force B and A.

2)

yes , there is a relationshipo between A , B , C

C = A + B

3)

yes , for the force A and C

A = C * sin(30)

4)

for the magnitude of forces

C = sqrt(A^2 + B^2)

5) NO , no questions
