Question on: JAMB Physics - 2018

For what values of F and θ will the forces shown in the diagram below be in equilibrium.

A
60N and 60\(^o\)
B
60N and 30\(^o\)
C
20√3 N and 60\(^o\)
D
20√3N and 30\(^o\)
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A

Resolving the vertical component of the force, 40cosθ = 20, θ = 60\(^o\)

Resolving the horizontal component of the force, f = 40sinθ = 40sin60\(^o\)

  = 40(\(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\))

  = 20√3 N
