The set of concurrent forces F₁ = 50 N, F₂ = 50 N, and F3 60 N are applied at particle A. The angles of the line of actions of F₁ and F2, a₁ = 0₂ = 40° (deg) with respect to the vertical line y, while the angle a3 of F3 with respect to the horizontal line x is 20º. Determine graphically the magnitude and direction of the sum of forces (resultant of the forces) at A using (1) the parallelogram law, and (2) the triangle rule.

The set of concurrent forces F₁ 50 N, F₂ = 50 N, and F3 60 N are applied at particle A. The
angles of the line of actions of F₁ and F2, 0₁ = α2 = 40° (deg) with respect to the vertical line
y, while the angle a3 of F3 with respect to the horizontal line x is 20º. Determine graphically the
magnitude and direction of the sum of forces (resultant of the forces) at A using (1) the parallelogram
law, and (2) the triangle rule.
