Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the components of the forces
  • Force \( F_1 \): Magnitude = 80.0 N, Angle = 65.0° above the negative x-axis in the second quadrant.
    • \( F_{1x} = -80.0 \cos(65.0°) \)
    • \( F_{1y} = 80.0 \sin(65.0°) \)
  • Force \( F_2 \): Magnitude = 65.0 N, Angle = 53.7° below the negative x-axis in the third quadrant.
    • \( F_{2x} = -65.0 \cos(53.7°) \)
    • \( F_{2y} = -65.0 \sin(53.7°) \)
Step 2: Calculate the components of each force
  • Force \( F_1 \):
    • \( F_{1x} = -80.0 \cos(65.0°) = -33.8 \) N
    • \( F_{1y} = 80.0 \sin(65.0°) = 72.5 \) N
  • Force \( F_2 \):
    • \( F_{2x} = -65.0 \cos(53.7°) = -38.6 \) N
    • \( F_{2y} = -65.0 \sin(53.7°) = -51.9 \) N
Step 3: Sum the components to find the resultant force
  • Resultant Force \( F_R \):
    • \( F_{Rx} = F_{1x} + F_{2x} = -33.8 + (-38.6) = -72.4 \) N
    • \( F_{Ry} = F_{1y} + F_{2y} = 72.5 + (-51.9) = 20.6 \) N

Final Answer

  • Magnitude of the resultant force:
    • \( F_R = \sqrt{F_{Rx}^2 + F_{Ry}^2} = \sqrt{(-72.4)^2 + (20.6)^2} = 75.3 \) N
  • Angle of the resultant force:
    • \( \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{F_{Ry}}{F_{Rx}}\right) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{20.6}{-72.4}\right) = -15.9° \) (below the negative x-axis)
