Finding a vector's magnitude and direction
Not what you're looking for?
Consider four vectors F1, F2, F3, and F4 with magnitudes F1= 2 N, F2 = 24 N, F3 = 21 N, and F4 = 66 N, angle 1 = 150 degrees, angle 2 = -150 degrees, angle 3 = 32 degrees, angle 4 = -70 degrees, measured from the positive x axis with counterclockwise positive.
1) What is the magnitude of the resultant vector F = F1 + F2 + F3 + F4; answer in unites of N
2) What is the dirction of this resultant vector F, within the limits of -180 degree and 180 degree as measured fromteh positive x axis with counterclockwise positive?
