-Two forces of 250 and 70 N (newtons) act on an object at right angles. Find the magnitude of the resultant and the angle that it makes with the larger force.
A) 260 N, 6°
B) 67,400 N, 16°
C) 260 N, 74°
D) 260 N, 16°

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The magnitude of the resultant force is found using the Pythagorean theorem: √(250² + 70²) = 260 N. The angle θ with the larger force is found using tan⁻¹(70/250), which is approximately 16°.
