Two perpendicular forces, 5.0 N5.0\text{ N}5.0 N acting horizontally and 12.0 N12.0\text{ N}12.0 N acting vertically, pull an object.

Calculate the magnitude of the resultant force on the object.

Two perpendicular forces, 5.0 N5.0\text{ N}5.0 N acting horizontally and 12.0 N12.0\text{ N}12.0 N acting vertically, pull an object.

A student draws a scale diagram of these forces where 1 N1\text{ N}1 N is represented by 1.5 cm1.5\text{ cm}1.5 cm. Determine the length of the vector that represents this resultant force in the diagram.
