a)
Using the “head-tail” method, try to find the (x,y) components
and then calculate the magnitude and direction of the sum.
Force (N) Magnitude Direction X- component Y- component
(N) (degrees)

a 15.8 18.4

b 7.3 164.1

b)
What is the magnitude and direction of the equilibrant force?

Q2)

a)
If we have to forces, one has a magnitude of 7N, and the other
one has a magnitude of 11N, what is the maximum force in N
we can get if the directions were unknown?
