QUESTION:

Determine the magnitude and direction, measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis, of the resultant force acting on the ring at O, if \(F_A = 750\ N\) and \(\theta = 45^{\circ}\).

ANSWER:

Step  1 of 4

The resultant force can be solved using the triangle law. Construct a triangle as shown below. Connect the tail of  force to the head of  force. Note that components are in tail-head connection while component and resultant are either tail-tail or head-head connections.
