If the forces are all normal (at right angles to) the sides the resultant is 0 (they all cancel each other out ).

Two 600 N forces act at an angle 50 degrees with each other what is their resultant?

It is approx 1087.6 N along the bisector of the two lines of action.


Finding a problem and solutions to coplanar and non coplanar forces?

ABCD is a squre. forces of magnitudes 1,2,3,P, and Q units act along AB, BC, CD, DA and AC respectively. find the value of P and Q so that the resultant of five forces is a couple


What is the perimeter of a regular pentagon with sides 6 inches long?

A pentagon has five sides. If each side of the pentagon is six inches, the perimeter (or the distance along the edges of the pentagon) is 5 times 6, or 30 inches, or approximately 76.2 centimeters.


What if a Pentagon is cut along a diagonal line what shapes does it make?

a semi circle


Can three vectors not in one plane give zero resultant?

No. For three vectors they must all lie in the same plane. Consider 2 vectors first. For them to resolve to zero, they must be in opposite direction and equal magnitude. So they will lie along the same line. For 3 vectors: take two of them. Any two vectors will lie in the same plane, and their resultant vector will also lie in that plane. Find the resultant of the first two vectors, and the third vector must be along the same line (equal magnitude, opposite direction), in order to result to zero. Since the third vector is along the same line as the resultant vector of the first two, then it must be in the same plane as the resultant of the first two. Therefore it lies in the same plane as the first two.

When two forces P and Q acting along the same line then its resultant?

In that case, the resultant will either be the sum or the difference of the two forces (if they act in the same direction) or their difference (if they act in opposite directions).

How do you find resultant of forces along sides of regular hexagon?

simply by finding the component y and x along these sides with an angle of 60 degree (notice the forces are outer the hexagon) then using the square root of the sum of the individual squared y and xand then to find the angle use tan@=(y/x)


When solving vector addition problems you can use either the graphical method or the what?

Trigonometry Method. (Resolve the forces along one plane, and then again in a perpendicular plane using cos or sin function. Then use Pythagoras's theorem to work out the hypotenuse (a2+b2=c2). Then use 'Soh Cah Toa' to work out the correct angle of the resultant Force.


What is are resultant forces?

A resultant force is the equivalent force, of two or more individual forces that act on the same object. For example, if somebody pulls with a force of 100 N due north, and somebody else pulls with a force of 100 N due east, the resultant force would be about 141 N, due north-east. Calculations are done with vectors; specifically, any vector has to be separated into components along the x-axis and the y-axis (and the z-axis, in a 3-dimensional situation), and the components are added individually.


How is trignometry used in physics?

Resolving a force into components along mutually perpendicular directions requires the calculation of the cosine and sine of the angle made by the force with one of them. The resultant of two two forces acting at right angles to one another is in the direction whose tangent is proportional to the forces.

How many vertical lines does the pentagon prism has?

If it is lying along its length, and he cross section is, for example, a regular pentagon, then it will have no vertical lines.


What are forces equal in strength but opposite in directions?

Two unequal forces The resultant force of two unequal forces clearly depends upon the magnitude of these forces and also depends on the angle of interception. One can clearly apply trigonometrical theorem for the same. such as if force x and force y of x1 and y1 magnitude is acting on an object N and if the angle between these forces is (180) degrees this means they are acting on opposite direction , and resultant force will be in direction of force x1 ir x1 > y1 or y1 if y1 < x1 So these unequal forces must be studied along with the angle of interception Hope this will give you a fair idea for calculation ( force is a vector and not scalier)
