Question: Two force yectors, F 1 = 2 0 l b and F 2 = 4 0 l b , are applied at point O as

Two force yectors, F1=20lb and F2=40lb, are applied at point O as shown in the Figure below. The
direction of the force vectors F1 and F2 are expressed by angle =30 and =45, respectively. If the
resultant vector difference vec(Rd)=vec(F1)-vec(F2)
a. Sketch the force diagram of the resultant vector difference vec(Rd) based on the parallelogram law concept.
b. Afterward, calculate the magnitude of the resultant vector difference vec(Rd) and the angle between the
resultant vector vec(Rd) and the positive x axis measured in the clockwise direction using the cosines and
sines law.
