Coplanar forces of magnitudes 250 N, 100 N, and 300 N act at a point in the directions shown in the diagram. The resultant of the three forces has magnitude \(R\) N, and acts at an angle \(\alpha^\circ\) anticlockwise from the force of magnitude 100 N. Find \(R\) and \(\alpha\).
Solution
To find the resultant force \(R\) and the angle \(\alpha\), we resolve the forces into their horizontal and vertical components.
