Direction of resultant force from a point

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the resultant force and its direction from a point, with given values of Fy = 900N, Fx = 200N, and FR = 922N. The angle θ is calculated using the arctangent function, yielding 77.5 degrees. Participants emphasize the importance of using consistent units, noting that the original problem is in pounds and feet. There is a request for detailed calculations to clarify how the values were derived. Accurate calculations and unit consistency are crucial for solving the problem effectively.

The Attempt at a Solution

The problem is given in units of pounds and feet, so you should do your calculations in the same units.

It is not clear how you arrived at your answers. Please provide your detailed calculations.

BTW, θ = theta, not 'tetha'.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
