Set F1 = 5N at 0 degrees, F2= 5N at 90 degrees, F3 = 5N at 270 degrees and run the simulation. Using trigonometry, what net force of F4 in the negative x-direction is necessary to produce an angle of 15 degrees between F2 and F3 and the y-axis? Set F4 to that value and run the simulation. Does the angle formed approximate 15 degrees?

find the solution in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use resolution of forces by resolving into x - component and y- component.

X - component.

Sum of forces = F1 - F3 - F4cos 15

Sum of forces = 0

5 - 5 - 0.97F4 = 0

- 0.97 F4 = 0

F4 = 0

Y - component

Sum of forces = F2 + F4 sin 15

Sum of forces = 0

5 + 0.26F4 = 0

0.26 F4 = -5

F4 = -5/0.26

F4 = -19.23 N

Simulating F4 back into the equation

Sum of forces = F1 - F3 - F4cos 15

- F4cos Ø = 0

- (-19.23) cos Ø = 0

Cos Ø = 0

Ø = 1

Does the angle formed approximate 15 degrees ? NO

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
