thank you for the response. I put some time into figuring out the correct answer, this comes much easier now. All i had to do was law of cos to solve for Fr then law of sines to figure out the angle. much easier. thank you

no, i know the values of sin/cos for the commonly used angles. What I am trying to say is while looking at the diagram, wouldn't the resultant force that it is asking me to find the magnitude of, be somewhere between the U and V axis...where angles are not defined? am i just drawing this...

basically what i cannot understand is : if the resultant force is somewhere between the U and V axis, how am i supposed to use sine/cosine when the angle will not be 30* or 45* thanks

thanks for the response. so you're saying i need the v-axis to find the angle of F2 to the u-axis? wouldn't that just be 60? i don't see why i'd need the v-axis..

Hello, first timer here. not sure if this should be in physics section or not.. anywayss I have this question, [SIZE="3"]2-4 that i have to do for homework but i can't seem to set up the vectors in the correct way to solve b/c the axis/angles are really throwing me off. I'm new at this trying...
