Important Questions on Forces in Two Dimensions




A particle in equilibrium has three forces of magnitudes and acting on it in the horizontal plane in the directions shown. Find the values of and

A lightshade of mass is hung from the ceiling by two strings. One is fixed with tension at to the vertical. The other is fixed with tension at an angle to the vertical.
By modelling the lightshade as a particle, draw a force diagram for this situation.

A lightshade of mass is hung from the ceiling by two strings. One is fixed with tension at to the vertical. The other is fixed with tension at an angle to the vertical.
Resolve horizontally to find a value for and resolve vertically to find a value for

A lightshade of mass is hung from the ceiling by two strings. One is fixed with tension at to the vertical. The other is fixed with tension at an angle to the vertical.
Hence, find the values of and
