A person on a parachute has an upwards force of 500N and a downward force of 1000N. The wind strikes the person at 45 degrees and has a force of 300N find the resultant force to 1 decimal place.
Hint: Resolve the force of the wind into its horizontal and vertical components, before trying to add the forces together. Remember you can’t add forces that are perpendicular, you’ll have to use Pythagoras!
Plz help me I didn't understand the hint and please show the working of the problem I will be really grateful to you. By the way someone told me the answer is 357.6 N but he doesn't know the working so please help and reply soon. :)
