A200 n force is applied to an object (that is at the origin) at 30 degrees above the horizontal on the positive x axis. a second force is applied at 20 degrees below the horizontal on the negative x axis. in order for the object to be in equilibrium in the y direction, what must the magnitude of this force be?

294.11 N

Explanation:

F1 = 200 N

Let the other force is F2 = F = ?

Resolve the components of F1 and F2.

As the object is in equilibrium in y direction, it means the net force in y direction is zero.

So, F1 Sin 30 = F2 Sin 20

200 x 0.5 = F x 0.34

F = 294.11 N

The magnitude of force is 294.11 N

as a general rule, scissors have blades less than 6 in (15 cm) long and usually have handles with finger holes of the same size. shears have blades scissors used to cut hair or fabric must be much sharper
