question 18

Multiple Choice

As shown in the figure, three force vectors act on an object. The magnitudes of the forces as shown in the figure are F₁ = 80.0 N, F₂ = 60.0 N, and F₃ = 40.0 N, where N is the standard SI unit of force. The resultant force acting on the object is given by

• A) 180 N at an angle 60.0° with respect to +x-axis.
• B) 60.0 N at an angle 90.0° with respect to +x-axis.
• C) 20.0 N at an angle 34.3° with respect to +x-axis.
• D) 35.5 N at an angle 34.3° with respect to +x-axis.
• E) 40.0 N at an angle 60.0° with respect to +x-axis.
