“a real man does not fret about his place in the world, but only slips into it by the gravity of his nature, and changes

there as easily as a star”.

Analysis so that the resultant force [(F_3) ⃗] is correct:

➢ Using the formula of [F_X1=F_1 cos (θ_1) ] and [F_y1=F_1 sin(θ_1 ) ] the
components of [F_1 ] are found for the first data acquisition:

[𝐹𝑋1 = (80)(9,8) cos(0)]

[𝐹𝑋1 = 7584] [𝑁]
[𝐹𝑦1 = (80)(9,8) sin(0)]
[𝐹𝑦1 = 0] [𝑁]

[𝐹𝑋2 = (40)(9,8) cos(90)]

[𝐹𝑋2 = 0] [𝑁]
[𝐹𝑦2 = (40)(9,8) sin(90)]
[𝐹𝑦2 = 392] [𝑁]

➢ We find the magnitude of the resultant forces [F_Rx ] [F_Ry ]:

|𝐹𝑅 | = √(𝐹𝑅𝑥 2 ) + (𝐹𝑅𝑦 2 )

|𝐹𝑅 | = √(75842 ) + (3922 )

|𝐹𝑅 | = 7594.12[𝑁]

➢ With the magnitude of the |F_R | we calculate the mass:

𝑚3= |𝐹𝑅 |/9,8

𝑚3= 7594.12/9,8

Analytical process, to verify that the resultant force [(F_4 ) ⃗ ] is correct:

➢ Using the formula of [F_X1=F_1 cos(θ_1 ) ] and [F_y1=F_1 sin(θ_1 ) ] the

components of [F_1 ] are found for the third data acquisition:

[𝐹𝑋1 = (15)(9,8) cos(0)]

[𝐹𝑋1 = 147] [𝑁]
[𝐹𝑦1 = (15)(9,8) sin(0)]

[𝐹𝑦1 = 0] [𝑁]

[𝐹𝑋2 = 102.10] [𝑁]
[𝐹𝑦2 = (60)(9,8) sin(100)]
[𝐹𝑦2 = 579.06] [𝑁]

[𝐹𝑋3 = (80)(9,8) cos(180)]

[𝐹𝑋3 = 780] [𝑁]
[𝐹𝑦3 = (80)(9,8) sin(180)]
[𝐹𝑦3 = 0] [𝑁]

➢ We find the magnitude of the resultant forces [F_Rx ] [F_Ry ]:

|𝐹𝑅 | = √(𝐹𝑅𝑥 2 ) + (𝐹𝑅𝑦 2 )

|𝐹𝑅 | = √(530.92 ) + (579.062 )

|𝐹𝑅 | = 785.60[𝑁]
