HOMEWORK $13$:

Problem $1$: $($statics course, sophomore year$)$

Step $1$: For each force, calculate the $x$ and $y$

components of the force.

Step $2$: Sum the $x$ and $y$ components

Determine the magnitude and direction of the

resultant force.

Step $3$: Determine the resultant magnitude and

direction. Use the sign convention shown: note the

angle is measured from the $x-$axis, positive counter$-$

clockwise.
