Solution Steps

Step 1: Convert Forces to Vector Components

To add the vectors \(\vec{F}_{1}\) and \(\vec{F}_{2}\) using the head-to-tail method, we first convert them into their vector components.

For \(\vec{F}_{1}\):

  • Magnitude: \(0.98 \, \text{N}\)
  • Direction: \(0^\circ\)

\[ \vec{F}_{1x} = 0.98 \cos(0^\circ) = 0.98 \] \[ \vec{F}_{1y} = 0.98 \sin(0^\circ) = 0 \]

For \(\vec{F}_{2}\):

  • Magnitude: \(1.96 \, \text{N}\)
  • Direction: \(145^\circ\)

\[ \vec{F}_{2x} = 1.96 \cos(145^\circ) = -1.6051 \] \[ \vec{F}_{2y} = 1.96 \sin(145^\circ) = 1.1285 \]

Step 2: Calculate Resultant Vector Components

Add the components of \(\vec{F}_{1}\) and \(\vec{F}_{2}\) to find the resultant vector \(\vec{F}_{R}\).

\[ \vec{F}_{Rx} = \vec{F}_{1x} + \vec{F}_{2x} = 0.98 - 1.6051 = -0.6251 \] \[ \vec{F}_{Ry} = \vec{F}_{1y} + \vec{F}_{2y} = 0 + 1.1285 = 1.1285 \]

Step 3: Calculate Magnitude and Direction of Resultant Vector

Calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector \(\vec{F}_{R}\).

Magnitude: \[ |\vec{F}_{R}| = \sqrt{(-0.6251)^2 + (1.1285)^2} = 1.2881 \, \text{N} \]

Direction: \[ \theta_R = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1.1285}{-0.6251}\right) = 118.3^\circ \]

Final Answer

The magnitude of the graphical resultant force \(\vec{F}_{R}\) is \(1.2881 \, \text{N}\) and the direction is \(118.3^\circ\).
