Allright,
I was mixed up here when I asked for help. I only have 1 equation, but I still can't solve it. The Eq is -180 = 217.5*cos(theta) + 101.9*sin(theta). I don't know how to solve for theta in this type of equation. I see sadrul's post below, but I'm not sure how to apply it. Thanks...
I'm in a mechanics\statics class and have run across a couple of problems that I cannot, for the life of me, remember how to solve. The problems end up solving for two unknowns with two equations and one of the equations has
Constant = Constant Sin(theta) + another constant Cos(theta)
and...
