Addition by 1. Components: Three forces, 1, 2, and 3, all act on an object, as shown in the figure. The magnitudes of the forces are: F1 = 80.0 N, F2 = 60.0 N, and F3 = 40.0 N. The resultant force acting on the object is given by 

A. 180 N at an angle of 60.0° with respect to +x-axis. B. 60.0 N at an angle of 90.0° with respect to +x-axis. C. 20.0 N at an angle of 34.3° with respect to +x-axis. D. 35.5 N at an angle of 34.3° with respect to +x-axis. E. 40.0 N at an angle of 60.0° with respect to +x-axis.

A researcher is investigating a cubic crystal with x rays. He is looking at Bragg reflection from the planes parallel to the cube faces

He finds that when using x rays of 0.165 nm a strong first maximum occurs when the beam makes an angle of 23.5° with the planes. What is the spacing of adjacent atoms in the crystal?
