Force vectors
** **
I have used three rubber bands. My lengths are 6.1, 6.8, 10.1. My forces are .57N, 1.71N, 3.04N. Then using the 4cm per 1newton, they are 2.28N, 6.84N, 12.16N. Are these correct or am I still doing this wrong?????
@&
This makes sense.
However the lengths of the vectors you sketch will be
2.28 cm, 6.84 cm, 12.16 cm
not 2.28N, 6.84N, 12.16N.
The confusion came about because you labeled the lengths as Newtons, and it is clear that forces like 12.16 N are not involved here.
That was just a minor oversight on your part, but our exchange on this matter demonstrates the need to communicate the details of a situation.
Let me know if you have additional questions.
