Use the Parallelogram Rule to Find the Magnitude of the Resultant

Question 267

Multiple Choice

Use the parallelogram rule to find the magnitude of the resultant force for the two forces shown in the figure. Round to
one decimal place.
-Two boats are pulling a disabled vessel toward the landing dock with forces of 940lb940 \mathrm { lb } and 930lb930 \mathrm { lb } . The angle between the forces is 25.725.7 ^ { \circ } . Find the direction and magnitude of the equilibrant.


A) 182lb182 \mathrm { lb } at an angle of 167.2167.2 ^ { \circ } with the 940lb940 - \mathrm { lb } force
B) 1823lb1823 \mathrm { lb } at an angle of 12.812.8 ^ { \circ } with the 940lb940 - \mathrm { lb } force
C) 1823lb1823 \mathrm { lb } at an angle of 77.277.2 ^ { \circ } with the 930lb930 - \mathrm { lb } force
D) 1823lb1823 \mathrm { lb } at an angle of 167.2167.2 ^ { \circ } with the 940lb940 - \mathrm { lb } force
