physics

a body is acted on by forces F1=16N,180°,F2= 50 N ,040°,F3=28,150°,calculate the magnitude (correct to one decimal)and the direction(to the nearest degree)of the resultant of the three forces

Rx=ΣFx

Rx=16cos180+50cos040+28cos150
 

Ry=ΣFy

Rx=16sin180+50sin040+28sin150
 

R=Rx2+Ry2
 

Direction of resultant:
tanθx=RyRx
 

Just follow the solution above with your calculator.
