Handling two SHMs in different directions
So when I attempted this question I was kind of stumped, as I have dealt only with SHMs in the same direction, which I can just add up. I know that this is possible because when we represent the SHMs as PHASORS, they rotate with some constant angular speed and can be treated as vectors. How do...- palaphys

Engineering Determine the resultant of the coplanar forces
I used Rx = 100cos(0) + 200cos(90) = 100. Ry = 100sin(0) + 200sin(90) = 200. tanO = Ry/Rx = 2. Therefore O(theta) = inv tan (2) = 64 degrees.- tremain74
