A.
What force (F,) is required to bring this system to equilibrium? (Recall that the
X-component of this force is equal to F, and the y-component is equal to F,)
T 2+2
3-5 =-2
F>
7 T-T.
F3 -2
B. At what angle (labeled 0 in the diagram) must the force be placed in order to
bring the system to equilibrium? (Recall that the inverse tangent function can be used to
calculate the angle given the x- and y-components).
Expert Solution

Step 1
We have given the three forces as shown in the figure
F1 = 5 N , toward +x axis
F2 =3 N, Toward +y axis
F3 with the angle shown in the figure
