Ohlord, I can't think atm
Can someone solve these 2 simultaneous equations for me.
5.5sinx = wgcosx
And
5.5cosx + wgsinx = 7.3
sinx/cosx =wg/5.5
tanx * 5.5 = wg
Substitute this in the second equation
5.5cosx + sinx( tanx * 5.5) = 7.3
after simplifying the brackets, you'll get
5.5cos^2 x + 5.5 sin^2 x = 7.3 cosx
5.5( cos^2 x + sin^2 x) =7.3 cosx
5.5/7.3 = cosx
x= 41.4
now wg= tan41.4 * 5.5
