AI Thread Summary
To find the individual forces F1 and F2 when given the resultant R, one can use the equations ΣF_x = R_x and ΣF_y = R_y. This approach involves breaking down the resultant into its components along the x and y axes. By applying vector addition and considering the angles involved, the magnitudes and directions of the forces can be determined. Understanding the relationship between the resultant and the individual forces is crucial for solving such problems. This method provides a systematic way to analyze the forces acting in a given scenario.

Find the forces...if given resultant.

the problem is in the link below...

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f46/maximus11373/353.jpg


i fully understand how to find the resultant when given the forces but do not know how to find the forces when given the resultant.

my question is...what are the forces and how do i find them.

F1 and F2 are the forces and R is the resultant.

The easiest thing to do is to put \Sigma F_x =R_x \ and \ \Sigma F_y = R_y

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...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
