Two teams of workers are pulling a shipping crate by means of cables. One team is pulling the crate with a force of 1723 lbs. in a direction 27掳 east of north. The other team is pulling with a force of 1847 lbs. in a direction 33掳 west of north. How much net force is being applied to the crate, and in what direction?How much net force is being applied to the crate, and in what direction?
wtF?!@#?!@#?!@#? with a force 1723 LBS?!?!?!?!? since when i sforce measured in pounds...How much net force is being applied to the crate, and in what direction?
In the north direction, 1723*cos(27潞) + 1847*cos(33潞) = 3084 lbs N
In the east direction 1723*sin(27潞) - 1847*sin(33潞) = -222.4 east or 222.4 W
Total force is 鈭歔3084虏 + 222.4虏] = 3092 lb
The direction is arctan(222.4/3084) = 4.12潞 west of north
