A particle, which remains at rest, is acted on by three forces F, G and H. The force F has magnitude 16N and is directed to the right and down, making an angle of 50 degrees with the horizontal. The force G has magnitude 7N and is directed to the left and down, making an angle of 50 degrees with the horizontal. Find the magnitude of the vector H, and the acute angle it makes with the horizontal. Give the magnitude to one decimal place and the angle to the nearest degree. What is the magnitude of H and what is the acute angle H makes with the horizon?

A block with mass m1 = 9.2 kg rests on the surface of a horizontal table which has a coefficient of kinetic friction of μk = 0.58. A second block with a mass m2 = 10.8 kg is connected to the first by an ideal string passing over an ideal pulley such that the second block is suspended vertically. The second block is released from rest, and motion occurs. Using the variable T to represent tension, write an expression for the sum of the forces in the y-direction, ΣFy, for block 2. Using the variable T to represent tension, write an expression for the sum of the forces in the x-direction, ΣFx for block 1. Block 1 accelerates along the tabletop, in the horizontal direction, while block 2 moves vertically.
