A person applies two forces on a box; one force is 10N east and another is 7N north. Calculate the resultant force vector and determine its direction.
💡 Hint: Graph the vectors and apply Pythagorean theorem.
In a physics experiment, two players are pushing a stationary cart; Player A exerts a force of 20N at 60 degrees to the x-axis, while Player B exerts 15N at 135 degrees. Find the net force exerted on the cart.
💡 Hint: Break down forces into components using cosine and sine.
