21. Resultant Forces Resultant forces are the overall combination of all forces acting on a body. 1) find sum of forces in x-direction 2) find sum of forces in y-direction 3) find sum of forces in z-direction 3) Write as single vector in rectangular components R = S F x i + S F y j + S F z k

22. Resultant Forces – Example 1 A satellite flies without friction in space. Earth’s gravity pulls downward on the satellite with a force of 200 N. Stray space junk hits the satellite with a force of 1000 N at 60 o to the horizontal. What is the resultant force acting on the satellite? 1.Sketch and label free-body diagram (all external and reactive forces acting on the body) 2.Decompose all vectors into rectangular components (x, y, z) 3.Add vectors
