Transcribed Image Text:### Understanding Force Equilibrium on a Pole
**Problem Statement:**
Determine the force \( F \) required to counteract the 600-pound tension so that the resultant force acts vertically down the pole. Use a scale where 1 inch represents 400 pounds.
**Diagram Description:**
The diagram illustrates a pole with two forces acting upon it, forming a symmetrical structure with an apex labeled as point \( O \).
- The pole is positioned vertically along the \( Y \)-axis.
- A force labeled \( F \) is applied at an angle of 40° to the left, downward from the apex.
- A 600-pound tension force is applied at an angle of 40° to the right, downward from the apex.
- Both forces intersect the ground at the base of the pole, indicating potential pivot points.
- The apex of the pole is the point where the two forces converge, balancing vertically.
**Objective:**
Calculate \( F \) such that the forces are balanced vertically. Use the given scale for accurate calculation and conversion between physical representation and real-world application.
