Homework Statement
Three students push a box. Michael pushes with a force of 200 N at 0 degree. Shannon exerts a force of 150 N at 30 degrees, and Adam pushes with 175 N at 145 degrees. What is the magnitude of the net force?
Homework Equations
Some trig nothing special
The Attempt at a Solution
X Axis
200+(cos30*150)=329.9N [E]
cos45*175=123.7N [W]
329.9-120=209.9N [E]
Y Axis
sin30*150=75N [N]
sin45*175=123.7 [N]
75+123.7=198.7 [N]
209.9+198.7= 408.6N
I am not sure if i did it right at all...i am self taught to any help is appreciated thanks in advance
