write the expression for the resultant of the force acting on the truck using the cartesian component method. in matlab

To write the expression for the resultant of the force acting on the truck using the Cartesian component method in MATLAB, you will need to break down the forces into their horizontal and vertical components, and then add up the components separately.

Assuming you have the x-component of the force (Fx) and the y-component of the force (Fy), you can use the following expression:

main.m
% Given force components
Fx = 10; % x-component of the force
Fy = 5;  % y-component of the force

% Calculate the resultant force
Resultant = sqrt(Fx^2 + Fy^2);

In the above code, we calculate the magnitude of the resultant force (Resultant) by taking the square root of the sum of the squares of the x-component and y-component of the force. Finally, the magnitude of the resultant force is stored in the variable "Resultant".

Note: If you have multiple forces acting on the truck, you will need to calculate the components of each force separately and then add up the respective components before calculating the resultant force.
