From the given figure, let's determine sum of forces (ΣF) if the object is in equilibrum.

When an object is said to be in equilibrum, the forces are balanced. This means that the object is in a state of equilibrum.

If an object is in a state of equilibrum, the sum of all forces is zero.

Therefore, we have:

ΣFx = 0 N

ΣFy = 0 N

ΣF = √(ΣFx)² + (ΣFy)²= 0 N

Therefore, the value of ΣF if the object is in equilibrum is 0N.

ANSWER:

a) 0N
