In this video, we find the resultant force value, location angle, and direction from the given component vectors. This problem is resolving 2 component forces to make on final combined resultant vector via the Parallelogram Rule. Problem statement: The two forces P and Q act on bolt A. Determine their resultant Problem walkthrough steps: Draw a quick free body diagram Form a parallelogram by copying and pasting the component forces Draw in the resultant from corner to corner -Calculate the angle opposite the resultant force -Use the law of cosines to find the value of the resultant -Use the law of sines to find the angle of the resultant off of one of the components -Use this angle to find the resultant angle off of the x-axis Topics of this problem include: Free Body Diagram (FBD) Solve a statics components and resultants problem via the Parallelogram Rule.
