Answer:
magnitude - 659.91 N
direction = 27.69 degree
Explanation:
The gravitational force due to sun is
Fs = 173 N
Fax = -173 N, Fay = 0 N
Gravitational force is
Fgx = 0 N
Fgy [tex]= -1.00\times 10^2 N = -100 N[/tex]
Assume Solar radiation force at an angle of 30 degree on sail plane is
[tex]F_R = 8.60\times 10^2 N[/tex]
[tex]F_{Rx} =860 cos 30 =744.78 N[/tex]
[tex]F_{Ry} = 8600 sin 30 = 430 N[/tex]
TOTAL FORCE in x diretion= -173 + 0 + 744.48 = 571.48 N
and total force in y direction is
Fy = 0 - 100 + 430 = 330 N
Magnitude of force [tex]= \sqrt{571.48^2 + 330^2} = 659.91 N[/tex]
[tex]Direction = tan^{-1}[ \frac{330}{571.48}] = 27.67 degree[/tex]
