A boat moves through the sea.
There is a 3000 N force to the west on the boat.
There is a 1000 N force to the south on the boat.
Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force on the boat.
Draw a vector diagram of these forces to scale

Respuesta :

Answer

horizontal arrow pointing left

(3000 N) and vertical arrow

pointing down (1000 N) drawn to

the same scale

resultant force with a value in

the range 3100 N–3200 N

direction in the range 251º–

253º (clockwise from north)

the magnitude will increase

direction will change towards the

south
