Three horizontal ropes pull on a large stone stuck in the ground, producing the vector forces A鈬赌, B鈬赌, andC鈬赌 shown in Fig. P1.60. Find the magnitude and direction of a fourth force on the stone that will make the vector sum of the four forces zero.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The fourth force of 90.2Nacts at an angle of 256 ,counterclockwise to the positive x-axis.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data can be listed below,

  • the magnitude of force vectorA鈬赌is,100N.
  • the magnitude of force vectorB鈬赌is,80N.
  • the magnitude of force vector C鈬赌is,40N.
  • The angle made by A鈬赌 with x-axis is, 30.
  • The angle made by B鈬赌 with y-axis is, 30.
  • The angle made by C鈬赌with x-axis is, 53.

Concept/Significance of a vector quantity.

Vector addition is used to sum up two or more vectors together to find the resultant vector.

03

Determination of the magnitude and direction of a fourth force on the stone that will make the vector sum of the four forces zero

Let D鈬赌be the fourth force is given by,

D鈬赌=-A鈬赌+B鈬赌+C鈬赌

There are two components of D鈬赌are DXand Dy.

The component ofthe force for theA vector on x-axis is given by,

AX=Acos30=86.6N

The component of force fortheA vector on y-axis is given by,

Ay=Asin30=50.0N

The components of force for the B鈬赌and C鈬赌on x-axis and y-axis are given by,

role="math" localid="1655797244543" BX=-Bsin30=-40NBy=Bcos30=69.28NCX=-Ccos53=-24NCy=-Csin53=-31.90N

Substitute these values in equation for D鈬赌and two components of fourth force vector in x and y-axis are given by,

DX=-AX+BX+CX=-86.6-40-24.07N=-22.53NDy=-Ay+By+Cy=-50+69.28-31.90N=-87.3N

The magnitude of D鈬赌is given by,

D=Dx2+Dy2

Here, Dyis the component of the fourth force vector in y direction and Dx is the component of the fourth force vector in x direction..

Substitute values in the above,

D=-22.53N2+-87.3N2

The direction of the fourth force vector is given by the angle , it makes with the x-axis

=tan-1DyDx

Substitute values in the above,

=tan-1-87.3N-22.53N=75.54=180+=256

Thus, the magnitude of the fourth force vector is90.2N . And the value of both x and y components of the fourth vector are negative. So, the the fourth force vector acts at an angle of 256, counterclockwise to the positive x-axis.
