Topic 2 Mechanics2.1 3 Adding forceson the gophysics ①add two or more vectors by drawing②add two perpendicular vectors by calculationOur Learning Objectives: Adding forces in the same line Adding forces in the same lineIf two or more forces are acting along the same line, then combining them is simply a case of adding or subtracting their magnitudes depending on their directions.Adding forces in the same line requires a consideration of their comparative directions. Adding forces in the same line Adding forces in the same lineguess: which kind of method is more easily to push down the wall? Adding perpandicular forces Adding perpandicular forcesMAGNITUDE OF THE RESULTANT FORCETo calculate the resultant magnitude of two perpendicular forces, we can draw them, one after the other, as the two sides of a right-angled triangle and use Pythagoras’ theorem to calculate the size of the hypotenuse.The resultant force here is calculated using Pythagoras’ theorem: Adding perpandicular forcesDIRECTION OF THE RESULTANT FORCEAs forces are vectors, when we find a resultant force it must have both magnitude and direction. For perpendicular forces (vectors), trigonometry will determine the direction.The resultant force here is at an angle up from the horizontal of q or θ. q=? Adding none-perpandicular forces Adding none-perpandicular forcesThe resultant force here can be found by scale drawing the two forces, and then measurement of the resultant on the drawing using a ruler and a protractor. Draw the two vectors to scale ? at the correct angle and scaled so their length represents the magnitude ? starting from the same point. Then draw the same two vectors again parallel to the original ones, so that they form a parallelogram, as shown.The resultant force (or vector) will be the diagonal across the parallelogram from the starting point.Finding the resultant vector using the parallelogram rule.Adding none-perpandicular forces Adding none-perpandicular forces FREE-BODY FORCE DIAGRA
