Question

Select the correct answer.

F₁ = 70 N
F₂ = 15 N
8
F₁
W = 80 N
Use this free body diagram to help you find the magnitude of the force F₁ needed to keep this block in static equilibrium.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

F1 will have to have 65 N vertical up force to balance the net 65 N down on the body AND it will have to have 70 N horizontal to the right to balance the 70 N force that is acting to the left

Magnitude = sqrt ( 65^2 + 70^2) = 95.5 N
