The magnitude of the resultant force on the balloon is 374.13 N.
The given forces from the image;
- Upward force = 514 N
- Downward force = 267 N
- Eastward force = 678 N
- Westward force = 397 N
The net vertical force on the balloon is calculated as follows;
[tex]F_y = 514 \ N \ \ - \ \ 267 \ N\\\\F_y = 247 \ N[/tex]
The net horizontal force on the balloon is calculated as follows;
[tex]F_x = 678 \ N \ - \ 397 \ N\\\\F_x = 281 \ N[/tex]
The magnitude of the resultant force on the balloon is calculated as follows;
[tex]F = \sqrt{F_y^2 + F_x^2} \\\\F = \sqrt{(247)^2 + (281)^2} \\\\F= 374.13 \ N[/tex]
Thus, the magnitude of the resultant force on the balloon is 374.13 N.
