Answer My Questions on Calculating Angles from a Picture

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating angles from a provided diagram in a statics problem. The angles 120 degrees and 250 degrees are derived by measuring anticlockwise from the positive x-axis, with specific calculations explained for each force. The user notes that the diagram does not align with the accompanying table, leading to confusion. Additionally, there is a correction regarding the units, which should be in Newtons (N) rather than Newton-meters (Nm). Accurate understanding of angle measurement and unit representation is crucial for solving statics problems effectively.

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
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
