Incomplete question as the angle between the force is not given I assumed angle of 55°.The complete question is here
Two forces, a vertical force of 22 lb and another of 16 lb, act on the same object. The angle between these forces is 55°. Find the magnitude and direction angle from the positive x-axis of the resultant force that acts on the object. (Round to one decimal places.)
Answer:
Resultant Force=33.8 lb
Angle=67.2°
Explanation:
Given data
Fa=22 lb
Fb=16 lb
Θ=55⁰
To find
(i) Resultant Force F
(ii)Angle α
Solution
First we need to represent the forces in vector form
Total Force
The Resultant Force is given as
For(ii) angle
We can find the angle bu using tanα=y/x
So
