Question
Can you show me how to solve it and set it up. I got the equation and formula wrong.
We can use vectors to represent forces. A top-down
Problem 4- Forces and Vectors:
view of a force table is shown below as well as a free body diagram. F,-5N and points in the
*x-direction, and F,-3N and points in the +y-direction.

F2 3N
F1 5N

A.
What force (F,) is required to bring this system to equilibrium? (Recall that the
X-component of this force is equal to F, and the y-component is equal to F,)
T 2+2
3-5 =-2
F>
7 T-T.
F3 -2
B. At what angle (labeled 0 in the diagram) must the force be placed in order to
bring the system to equilibrium? (Recall that the inverse tangent function can be used to
calculate the angle given the x- and y-components).
