The resultant force, R, is related to two concurrent forces, X and Y, acting at right angles to one another, by the formula R^2=x^2+y^2 . Rewrite the formula for Y.

To find the formula for y in the equation:
\(r^2=x^2+y^2\)
First thing we do is we must isolate the y variable
\(y^2=r^2-x^2\)
To simplify our answer is we will square root both of the sides of the equation,
\(y= \sqrt{r^2-x^2}\)
and this will be the formula for the resultant force for y.

the answer is y=√r^2-x^2
