Answer:
[tex]R=883.74N[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Force 1 [tex]F_1=226N[/tex]
Force 2 [tex]F_2=331N[/tex]
Force 3 [tex]F_3=377N[/tex]
Direction 1 [tex]\theta_1=145 degrees \approx 35 \textdegree (2nd qudrant)[/tex]
Direction 2 [tex]\theta_2=303 degrees \approx 57 \textdegree (3rd qudrant)[/tex]
Direction 3 [tex]\theta_3=77 degrees[/tex]
Generally Resolving forces to X axis is mathematically given by
[tex]\sum f_x=337cos77+331cos57+226sin35[/tex]
[tex]\sum f_x=351.596N[/tex]
Generally Resolving forces to Y axis is mathematically given by
[tex]\sum f_y=337sin77+331sin57+226cos35[/tex]
[tex]\sum f_x=810.788N[/tex]
Generally the equation for Resultant force R is mathematically given by
[tex]R=\sqrt{\sum f_x^2+\sum f_x^2}[/tex]
[tex]R=\sqrt{351.596^2+810.788^2}[/tex]
[tex]R=883.74N[/tex]
