Answer:
F = 10.86 units
Explanation:
The magnitude of a vector in terms of the magnitude of its rectangular components is given by the following formula:
F = √(Fₓ² + Fy²)
where,
F = Magnitude of the Vector = ?
Fₓ = magnitude of the x-component of vector = 8.7 units
Fy = magnitude of y component of vector = - 6.5 units
Therefore, using these values in the equation, we get:
F = √[(8.7 units)² + (- 6.5 units)²]
F = √(117.94 units²)
F = 10.86 units
