Why do you think it's 58.264N? I made a mistake writing it down in the first post.SteamKing said:Fr = 58.264 N
I don't know where you got 199.9 N
And you could stand an algebra refresher.

If you call f2 the magnitude of F2, what are its components in the x and y directions (in terms of f2)?ozzolins said:Now the diagram is correct. Still can't figure out magnitude of F2.
Is this your diagram, or is from some book / web site? What's with that 3-4-5 triangle?ozzolins said:Now the diagram is correct. Still can't figure out magnitude of F2.
The magnitude of a force vector is the measurement of the strength or size of the force. It is a scalar quantity, meaning it has only magnitude and no direction.
The direction of a force vector describes the path along which the force is applied, while the magnitude refers to the size or strength of the force. Both are necessary to fully describe a force vector.
The magnitude of a force vector is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem, where the square of the magnitude is equal to the sum of the squares of the components of the force vector in each direction.
The magnitude of force vector is typically measured in Newtons (N) in the International System of Units (SI).
Magnitude of force vector is important in physics because it helps determine the strength of a force and its effects on objects. It is a crucial component in calculating and understanding the motion and interactions of objects in the physical world.
