Two forces, F? 1 and F? 2, act at a point, as shown in the picture. (Figure 1) F? 1 has a magnitude of 9.20 N and is directed at an angle of ? = 65.0 ? above the negative xaxis in the second quadrant. F? 2 has a magnitudeof 5.80 N and is directed at an angle of ? = 53.9 ? below the negative x axis in the third quadrant.

Part A

Part B

Express your answer in newtons.

Part C
What is the magnitude F of the resultant force?
Express your answer in newtons.

Part D
What is the angle ? that the resultant force forms with the negative x axis? In this problem, assume that positive angles are measured clockwise from the negative x axis.
Express your answer in degrees.

Explanation:

A) x-component of forces is 7.297 N

For x-component FX;

FX = F1 cos 65 + F2 cos 53.9

FX = 9.20 cos 65 + 5.8 cos 53.9

NB both forces are positive if resolved along the x-axis.

FX = 3.88 + 3.417 = 7.297 N

B) 6-component of forces is -3.654 N

For y-component FY

FY = -F1 sin 65 + F2 sin 53. 9

FY = - 9.2 sin 65 + 5.8 sin 53.9

NB F1 is negative along y-axis

FY = - 8.34 + 4.686 = - 3.654 N

C) The magnitude of the resultant force is 8.16 N

Magnitude = (FX^2 + FY^2)^0.5

(7.297^2 + (-3.654)^2)^0.5 = 8.16N

D) Angle made with negative x-axis is 26.56°

Tan^ -1 of FY/FX gives the angle of the resultant force.

= tan^-1 of -3.654/7.297

=tan^-1 of -0.5

= -26.56°

I.e 26.55° from the negative x-axis in a clockwise direction.

it is the second option.

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
