SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on drawing force vectors F1 and F2, defined as F1=100 at an angle of 20 degrees and F2=200 at an angle of 30 degrees. To represent these vectors, participants recommend using a coordinate system, specifically the x-y axis. The force vectors can be calculated as F1=(100cos20, 100sin20) and F2=(200cos30, 200sin30). Participants emphasize the importance of defining the forces before proceeding with vector representation.

PREREQUISITES

Homework Statement


F1Cosx and F2CosX2 and
F1Sinx and F2Sinx2

I need to draw each force vector as an arrow ?
how do I do that?

You need to tell us what F1 and F2 are before we can be any help. Without definitions, these are no more vectors than I am a top hat.
 
oky, f1=100 x1=20degree
and f2 200 x2=30 degree
 
Well, pick a coordinate system (say the x-y axis). Then the force F1=(100cos20, 100sin20). Since these are just numbers, you can plot the point (100cos20, 100sin20). Join this point to the origin, and you have your force vector. Similarly for F2
