Problem 1 From Fig. P-1, P is directed at an angle a from x-axis and the 200 N force is acting at a slope of 5 vertical to 12 horizontal. a. Find P and a if the resultant is 500 N to the right along the x-axis. b. Find P and a if the resultant is 500 N upward to the right with a slope of 3 horizontal to 4 vertical. c. Find P and a if the resultant is zero. 12 200 N Figure P-1
