Multiply it by sin(30) and multiply 7.88 again by cos(30) = (6.82 N, -3.94 N)
Turn the 6uc into vector components. = (-9.34 N,0)
Add the two vectors = (-2.52, 3.94)
Use pythagorean theorem on it = 4.68 N
Arctangent to find direction= -57.4 Degrees
4.68 N, 57.4deg S of E
I did these, what did I do wrong?
Multiply it by sin(30) and multiply 7.875 again by cos(30) = (6.82 N, 3.94 N)
Turn the 6uc into vector components. = (-9.02 N,0)
Add the two vectors = (-2.2, 3.94)
Use pythagorean theorem on it = 3.27 N
Arctangent to find direction= -60.809688481761 degrees...
