Expert Solution

Step 1 :Introduction

The force diagram of the system is given below:

The sum of the horizontal force acting on the system is calculated by using the formula $F_{x} = F_{1} \cos (30 °) - (F_{2} + F_{3} \sin (20 °))$ , where $F_{1} = 65 N, F_{2} = 30 N$ and $F_{3} = 20 N$ .The sum of the vertical force acting on the system is calculated by using the formula $F_{y} = F_{1} \sin (30 °) - (F_{3} \cos (20 °))$

The magnitude of the resultant force is calculated by using the formula $F = \sqrt{{(F_{x})}^{2} + {(F_{y})}^{2}}$ and the direction is calculated by using the formula $θ = \tan^{- 1} (\frac{F_{y}}{F_{x}})$ .
