I have been working on this problem for about an hour and can't seem to get a solution. Can anyone help?
Two forces P and Q have magnitudes 3N and 6N respectively and act at point O. The angle between P and Q is acute. The resultant is R which makes an angle of 20 degrees with Q. Find the angle between P and Q and the magnitude of R.
All I've done is get the equations:
3sin(x) = Rsin20
3cos(x) + 6 = Rcos20
Some rearranging got me as close as
Tan20 = sin(x) / cos(x)+2
But I still can't get a solution.
