Homework Statement
We are given three components: Component A has a magnitude of 220g at 0 degrees, Component B has a magnitude of 100g at 110 degrees, and Component C has a magnitude of 160g at 260 degrees.
We are supposed to find the resultant vector. HELP! :)
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
So I started off by drawing a free body diagram with all the components. For Component B I made a right triange using the verticle Y access. For Component C I also made a right triangle using the verticle access.
Am I doing this correctly, or should I be using the horizontal access to make the right triangle? Does this even matter? I keep getting different answers. I am very confused. Any help to solve would be great!
