Calculadora de Força Resultante

The Resultant Force Calculator allows you to determine the magnitude and angle of the resultant force from the horizontal (Fx) and vertical (Fy) components in a two-dimensional system. The resultant force is the vector sum of all forces acting on a body, with magnitude given by Fr = √(Fx²+Fy²) and angle θ calculated by θ = arctan(Fy/Fx).

To use the tool, enter the values of the Fx and Fy components in the corresponding fields and click 'Calculate'. The result will display the magnitude of the resultant force in newtons and the angle in degrees, measured from the positive horizontal axis. The calculator also provides a graphical representation of the resultant vector, making it easier to visualize the direction and sense of the force.

This calculator is useful in physics and engineering problems where forces acting in different directions need to be combined, such as in structural analysis, particle dynamics, or body equilibrium. For example, when calculating the resultant force on an object pulled by two ropes at different angles, or determining the net force at a support point.

Important precautions: ensure that the Fx and Fy components are in the same unit (newtons). The resulting angle is calculated in the correct quadrant based on the signs of Fx and Fy. If Fx is zero, the angle will be 90° or -90° depending on the sign of Fy. The calculator assumes that the forces are coplanar and that the system is in static or dynamic equilibrium as appropriate.
