Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for calculating resultant of of two forces is expressed as:
R = √F1²+F2²
R = √500²+350²
R = √250000+122500
R = √372500
R = 610.33N
The resultant of the two forces is 610.33N
To calculate the angle between the forces, we will use the formula;
Tan(theta) = 350/500
Tan(theta) = 0.7
Theta = tan^-1(0.7)
Theta = 34.99°
The angle it makes with the x axis will be 180-34.99 = 145°
