In a different tug of war, one team pulls with a force of 50 newtons at an angle of 30 degrees from the positive x-axis, and a second team pulls with a force of 25 newtons at an angle of 250 degrees. Use a scale drawing to determine the total force and angle applied to the central ring. How did they get the following answer?34.8 N at 2.5 degrees from the positive x-axis

34.8 N at 2.5 degrees from the positive x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

The force F makes an angle A with the positive x axis can be expressed in terms horizontal and vertical components.

Given that

=  50 × cos 30

= 43.3 N

= 50 × sin 30

= 25 N

Similarly;

= 25 × cos 250

= - 8.55 N

= 25 × sin 250

= -23.5 N

The total net force;

Finally, the direction of the angle for the net force is:

(- 1, 0 )

step-by-step explanation:

an x- intercept is where the function crosses the x- axis.

to find the x- intercept/s look for the value of x when f(x) = 0

from the given table there are 3 values of x where f(x) = 0

when x = - 1, x = 2, x = 3

the one that is listed is (- 1, 0 )
