AI Thread Summary
To draw the force vectors F1 and F2, first define their magnitudes and angles: F1 is 100 at 20 degrees and F2 is 200 at 30 degrees. Establish a coordinate system, typically the x-y axis. For F1, calculate its components as F1 = (100cos20, 100sin20) and plot the point accordingly. Repeat the process for F2 to visualize both vectors as arrows originating from the origin.

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

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
