I tried that, but still had phi in the expression.
Rx: sin(\theta) = 2sin(\phi)
Ry: 2.5 - 2cos(\phi)
I thought that since magnitude of R is sqrt[Rx^2 + Ry^2] = 250 things might cancel out. Well all the angles canceled out so i just got an incorrect expression.
I tried Ry/Rx just...
Homework Statement
Two forces P and Q with respective magnitudes 100N and 200N are applied to the upper corner of a crate. The sum of the two forces is to the right (+x direction) with a magnitude of 250N. Find the angles that P and Q make with their sum - that is, with the horizontal line...
