A block with a mass of m= 26 kg rests on a frictionless surface and is subject to two forces acting on it. The first force is directed in the negative x-direction with a magnitude of F₁ = 10.5 N. The second has a magnitude of F₂ = 18.5 N and acts on the body at an angle = 13⁰ measured from horizontal, as shown. Part (a) Please select the correct free body diagram from the choices below.
