I have an interesting problem for phys. tomorrow. I was hoping I might get a bit of help:
Massive cockroaches are fighting over a watermelon. Fred the Fierce is pulling on it with 310 Newtons at 45 degrees East of North. Larry the Large is pulling with 250 Newtons at 190 degrees from North. "Mandibles" Marlin is pulling at 285 degrees from North with a force of 275 Newtons.
a. Find the North/South and East/ West components of each vector. Use the appropriate cardinal points as directions (ex. a 5 Newton force applied southwest has components of 3.53 Newtons South and 3.53 Newtons west)
Force Choose 1 Force Choose 1
Fred:______Newtons (north or south)_______Newtons (East or west)
Larry:______Newtons (north or south)_______Newtons (East or west)
Marlin:_____Newtons (north or south)_______Newtons (East or west)
b. Find the resultant (magnitude and direction) when vectors Fred, Larry, and Marlin are added.
Well, Even if you can figure it out you should have a good laugh :)
