To find direction, we need to find Resultant force
Now,
Resultant force exerted by teams (𝑭 ⃗) = 𝑎 ⃗+𝑏 ⃗+𝑐 ⃗
= −𝒊 ˆ + 𝒋 ˆ
This is in direction of 𝒃 ⃗ .
Finding angle of vector 𝒃 ⃗ with respect to x-axis
Now,
Resultant force (𝑭 ⃗) = −𝒊 ˆ + 𝒋 ˆ
And,
Vector of x-axis = 𝑥 ⃗ = 𝒊 ˆ
Now,
𝐹 ⃗.𝑥 ⃗=|𝐹 ⃗ ||𝑥 ⃗ | cos〖𝜃 〗
(−𝒊 ˆ + 𝒋 ˆ) . 𝒊 ˆ = √𝟐 × 1 × cos θ
−1 = √2 × cos θ
(−1)/√2 = cos θ
cos θ = (−𝟏)/√𝟐
Since cos is negative
∴ Angle is in second quadrant
And, cos 𝝅/𝟒 = 𝟏/√𝟐
Therefore,
Required angle = 𝜋 − 𝜋/4
= 𝟑𝝅/𝟒
