19 Four forces each have a magnitude of 50 lb. Their re- spective directions are north, south, east, and west. Find the resultant force.
20 A 40 lb force acts to the right, while a 100 lb force acts at an angle of 458 above the first. Construct the vector sum of the two forces graphically, using a convenient scale.
21 Electric fields are vector quantities whose magnitudes are measured in units of volts/meter (V/m). Find the resultant electric field when there are two fields, E1 and E2, where E1 is directed vertically upward and has magnitude 100 V/m and E2 is directed 458 to the left of E1 and has magnitude 150 V/m.
