Question

perpendicular components of a force are 8N and 5N. Find the magnitude of the force.

Answer 1

Answer:

9.43 N

Explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem:

F^2 = 8^2 + 5^2

Calculating the square of each side:

F^2 = 64 + 25

Adding the squares:

F^2 = 89

Taking the square root of both sides to find the value of F:

F = √89 ≈ 9.43 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the force is approximately 9.43 Newtons.
