SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating angles from a static diagram, specifically how to determine the angles of forces acting on an object. The angles are measured anticlockwise from the positive x-axis, with a force of 150 N acting at 120 degrees and a force of 50 N at 250 degrees. The user clarifies that the initial interpretation of the angles was incorrect, emphasizing that the units should be Newtons (N) rather than Newton-meters (Nm).

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of static equilibrium in physics
  • Familiarity with vector forces and their representations
  • Knowledge of angle measurement in degrees
  • Basic grasp of trigonometry
NEXT STEPS
  • Study vector resolution in static systems
  • Learn about force diagrams and their applications in physics
  • Research angle measurement techniques in physics
  • Explore the concept of anticlockwise rotation in force analysis
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, engineers, and anyone involved in mechanics or static analysis will benefit from this discussion.

Your diagram doesn't match the table.
 
I don't quite understand what's being asked.
 
The angles show the direction each force is acting,ANTICLOCKWISE relative to the positive x-axis ---->
150 N acts at 120 degrees, starting from ---> go anticlockwise 90 degrees,then add 30 degrees = 120 degrees
50 N acts at 250 degrees,not 290 go 180 degrees anticlockwise then add 70 degrees.

P.S THE UNITS ARE ALL WRONG, they should be N not Nm
