Example 1: • Two tugboats are towing a barge. The first tugboat pulls with a force of 3 tons. The second tugboat pulls with a force of 3.5 tons. If the angle between the tow lines is 32o, find the magnitude of the equilibrant. 148o 3.5 tons 3 tons 32o 3.5 tons 3 tons
Example 2: • Two forces of 5.4 N and 6.2 N act on a point. The resultant of the two forces is a force of 9.3 N. Find the angle between the 5.4 N and 6.2 N forces. 6.2 N 5.4 N 9.3 N 6.2 N 5.4 N
Example 3: • A sailboat is headed east at 18 mph relative to the water. A current is moving the water south at 3 mph. Find the resultant vector as a distance and a bearing. 18 mph 3 mph
