Explanation / Answer
A= sqrt(Xcomp2+Y comp2)
similarly solve B= sqrt(Xcomp2+Y comp2)
the resltant of A and B by ordinary method= should be equal to that obtained from graphical method.
after finding out by graphical method findout if there is any difference
if so Calculate the percent error between the force table and component resultant magnitudes.
