CH. 4

Multiple Choice Questions 1, 2, 15 each deal with Newton's first Law, which says if the net force is ZERO, the object undergoes uniform motion  or remains at rest. 

exercises problems.
1. Fx = 10*cos45 and Fy = - 10*sin 45 assuming the positive y directions is UP.

2. Let the 270 N-force be along the positive x axis, and the 300 N-force be 60 degrees above the positive x axis.  The components  of the resultant are  Rx = 300*cos 60 + 270 and Ry = 300*sin60 + 0 = 300*sin 60. Find the magnitude and angle using class notes. 

3. Fx = F*cos50 and Fy = F*sin 50 assuming the positive y directions is UP.
4.  The net force is vertically up with magnitude 5 = 2*T*sin 52.5. Solve for T = magnitude of tension force.
5. Fx = 985*cos 31- 788*cos58 - 411*cos53  
and Fy = 985*sin 31  +  788*sin58 - 411*sin53  
Find the magnitude and angle using class notes. 
CH. 1
34.  (a) quadrant 1  (b) quadrant 3  (c) quadrant 2  (d) quadrant 4
37.  (a) The resultant  is in the first quadrant. 
(b) the difference is in the third quadrant.  Use tail to tail method
(c) the resultant  is in the opposite direction as the vector in part (a).  
(d) the difference is in the opposite direction as the vector in part (b).  Use tail to tail method.
38.  See hint to #4, Ch. 4. Same problem, different numbers. 
42.  Fx = 20*cos37 and Fy = 20*sin 37
44. Starting with vector-A and going counter-clockwise: Here are the x components:
12 cos 53, - 6cos60, 15cos40 . And here are the y components
12sin 53, -6sin 60, -15sin 40. 
48. Resolve the components as we did in problem 44.  Add up the x-components to get Rx.  Add up the y components  to get Ry.   Use the Pythagorean Theorem to get the magnitude. See class notes for the quadrant and angle.
50. There are three vectors we want to add:
The first vector has zero x-component, the second vector has zero y component, and the third vector has components  given by Fx = 3.1*cos45 and Fy = 3.1*sin 45 (in the first quadrant.)  See guidelines in #48.
