QUESTION:
If \(F_B = 3\ kN\) and \(\theta = 45^{\circ}\), determine the magnitude of the resultant force of the two tugboats and its direction measured clockwise from the positive x axis.
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.
