In the drawing, what is the vector sum of forces A→+B→+C→ if each grid square is 7.00 N on a side? If the resultant is eastward, enter a positive value and if the resultant is westward, enter a negative value.

resultant force = 14 N  ( East direction)

Explanation:

A =   √( (4*7)² + (4*7)² )

A = 39.6 N

B = 4 * 7

B = 28 N

C = 2 * 7

C = 14 N

∑ y forces = Ay - B = (4*7) - 28 = 0

∑ x forces = Ax - C = (4*7) - 14 = 14 N

so the resultant force = 14 N  ( East direction)

because it says use -2,0,and 2 for x, we can plug those numbers into the equation. y/4=3/4(-2)+2   y/4= -1 1/2 +2 now to get x by itself, we can multiply each side by 4. y=-6+8 which equals y=2 when x=-2. now you can do the same thing with 0 and 2 as x. you get y=8 when x=0 and y=14 when x=2.

x   |   y

-2 |   2

0   |   8

2   |   14
