I'm not really seeing how I need to set up system of equations based on thisSteamKing said:
You may have to work thru a series of different calculations. Not every problem can be wrapped up in a neat system of equations to solve at one fell swoop.Oxford365 said:
You have written expressions like ##\cos(\frac x{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}})##. Think about that again.Oxford365 said:
I see. I changed all of the trig functions to the inverses, but it is still not working out, I can't seem to find a simpler way to relate the info I am given and write better equations.haruspex said:
That would not be right either. To be invoking trig functions, or inverses thereof, there must be terms in the equation that represent angles. You have no need of such here. You can do everything in terms of side lengths and their ratios.Oxford365 said:
A 2-dimensional force system is a physical system in which forces act on an object in two dimensions, typically represented by the x and y axes. This type of force system is commonly used in physics and engineering to analyze the effects of forces on an object.
The resultant force in a 2-dimensional force system can be calculated by breaking down the individual forces into their x and y components and then adding them algebraically. The magnitude and direction of the resultant force can then be determined using trigonometric functions.
In a concurrent 2-dimensional force system, all of the forces intersect at a single point, while in a non-concurrent system, the forces do not intersect at a single point. This difference can affect how the resultant force is calculated and the overall stability of the system.
The balance of forces in a 2-dimensional force system can be affected by factors such as the magnitude and direction of the forces, the distance between the forces, and the angle at which the forces act on the object. External factors such as friction and air resistance can also impact the balance of forces.
The equilibrium of a 2-dimensional force system is determined by ensuring that the sum of all forces acting on an object is equal to zero. This means that the object is either at rest or moving at a constant velocity in a straight line. In other words, the net force and net torque in the system must both be zero for equilibrium to be achieved.
