In a concurrent force system, the following four forces are applied;F1 (105N, 40deg down to the right), F2 (85N, 20deg up to the right), F3 (90N, 55deg up to the left), F4 (75N, 25deg up to the left). (all angles are with respect to the x-axis). Compute the magnitude (N ) and direction (N) of the resultant.
Three persons wants to push a wheel cart in the direction marked x in Fig. The two person push
with horizontal forces F1 and F2 as shown in the figure.
(a) Find the magnitude and direction of the force that third person should exert to stop this cart.
You can ignore the effects of friction.
