Homework Statement
The figure shows two forces of equal magnitude acting on an object. If the common magnitude of the forces is 4.6 N and the angle between them is 40°, what third force will cause the object to be in equilibrium?
The Attempt at a Solution
What I did was split them down the middle, then used 4.6cos(40) degrees and then got 4.3N I just pointed it in the opposite direction to make it equilibrium. Does this sound like the correct method to use?
