QUESTION:
If the resultant force of the two tugboats is 3 kN, directed along the positive x axis, determine the required magnitude of force \(F_B\) and its direction \(\theta\).
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
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.
