An object is acted upon by two forces, 10 N in the vertical direction and 6 N at 40° to the vertical, as shown. [Figure 3.1] What is the resultant force acting on the object?

This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.

AVector of 15 N at 15° to the vertical

BVector of 15 N at 18° to the vertical

CVector of 7.7 N at 37° to the vertical

DVector of 6.6 N at 36° to the vertical

✓ Correct answer

D: Vector of 6.6 N at 36° to the vertical
