A rocket fires two engines simultaneously. One produces a thrust of 660 N directly forward while the other gives a thrust of 473 Nat an angle 15.6 ∘ above the forward direction.

A.Find the magnitude of the resultant force which these engines exert on the rocket.

B.Find the deviation of the direction (relative to the forward direction) of the resultant force which these engines exert on the rocket.

A post is being held in place by 3 wires

Wire A is heading west and Wire B is heading south. The figure above shows the approximate direction of Wire C.

If the system shown is not moving (i.e. it is static), describe how the forces operating on the platform relate to one another.

Write this relationship mathematically using vector notation.

Draw a vector diagram showing how these forces can be added together and how the heads and tails of each vector relate to each other.

The magnitude of the forces A and B acting on the platform are: |A| = 725.0 kN |B| = 615.0 kN

If the system is stationary, what is the magnitude of force C?

Show all your working clearly and give your answer in kN to 3 significant figures.

The pole has to be moved directly west. In order to achieve this, what would have to happen to the resultant force acting on the platform?

Suggest two ways the individual forces could be changed to achieve this resultant force. You may change the magnitude and direction of any of the individual forces to achieve this.
