AI Thread Summary
To solve for the original vectors given the net force's angle and magnitude, decompose the net force into its components. Since the original forces are concurrent and their angles are known, set up a system of equations based on the components of the forces. The number of equations will match the number of components, allowing for the calculation of the magnitudes of the original forces. This method effectively utilizes vector decomposition to find the required magnitudes. Understanding the relationships between the forces is crucial for accurate calculations.

Given the net force how would I go about solving for the original vectors that are being added?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I know what the net forces angle and magnitude is... I need to find the magnitude of the original forces(3 of them) which are added to get the net force; All the original forces are at fixed poistions and I do know their Angles; How would I find the the original forces magnitude's?
 
Well the forces are probably concurrent, so simply decompose into their components and the resultant force into their components too, and make nxn system of equations (n = number of components).
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
