Question 1 15 marks Before attempting thisthis question you should aware that copying from a source or using any Before attempting question you should be complete your study of Module 2.2 of the other means to solve tis sample is totally unacceptable studybook Four concurrent forces act on the centre of mass of a landing airplane, as shown in Figure 1 below. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the resultant force, FR, and the angle that it makes with the horizontal axis using the parallelogram rule. (b) Express each of the forces acting on the airplane in Cartesian form and find the resultant force, FR, and the angle that it makes with the horizontal axis using Cartesian vector notation.
