Juan is helping his mother rearrange the living room furniture. Juan pushes on the armchair with a force of 33 N directed at an angle of 15° above a horizontal line while his mother pushes with a force of 43 N directed at an angle of 20° below the same horizontal. What is the vector sum of these two forces?
N at an angle of ° ?
I think I am going about this one incorrectly…Am I just looking for the F of the vector between them? How do I find it without having both an x and y value?
resultant force = square root of 33^2 + 43^2 + (33*43)*cos35
= 40.99 N
resultant force = square root of 33^2 + 43^2 + (33*43)*cos35
= 40.99 N
