Question

: the shaded triangle is parallel to the xy plane and all the applied forces are perpendicular to it.  This means that the force only have k-components.

**Question #1:** Determine a single-force equipollent system for the figure below. Give resultant force **magnitude and position**. The plane of the shaded triangle is the xy plane and the forces are all normal to it. **Diagram Explanation:** The diagram depicts a triangular plane situated on the xy plane, with three forces acting upon it. Each force is represented by an arrow at distinct points along the triangle: - A 60 N force is directed along the z-axis at a point 2 meters from the base of the triangle towards the left side. - An 80 N force is directed along the z-axis at a point 2 meters from the base of the triangle towards the right side. - A 100 N force is directed along the z-axis from the apex of the triangle towards the base. The sides of the triangle are marked as 2 meters. The note at the bottom of the diagram states, "xy is plane of triangle; forces are normal to it." This indicates that each force acts perpendicular to the plane of the triangle.
