    An object experiences a 90N northward force and 60N eastward force. To find the resultant force, use trigonometry to calculate that the magnitude is 150N at an angle of arctan(60/90) or approximately 37 degrees from due north. When multiple forces act on an object, the resultant force is the single force that can replace the individual forces and produce the same effect.

    Imagine an object is subjected to a northward force of 90 N and a due east

    force of 60 N.

    Deduce the magnitude of the resultant force and its angle with respect to due
    north.
    When the angle decreases, F has to decrease in order to maintain 90 degrees with T.

    Resultant of force F and weight of climber increases. Magnitude of tension must increase to ensure no
    net force acts on climber
    F (resultant) = ma

    (15 – friction) = 3kg x 2

    Friction = 9N
