The Attempt at a Solution
[/B]
Hi, this is a question from the OCR for self studying purposes. Only the first question is relevant for me. I know that the solution is 120N in the opposite direction to the weight, but i can't get to this solution. There is no calculation in the solution so i tried doing it with scale drawing and the head to tail method, but it didnt work. I also tried to multiply the 120N by the stage light with the cosine of the angle between the vectors but the angles are above 90 degrees so i won't get a useful solution.
All the other questions in that topic were really easy so i guess its something fairly simple that i need to do. I hope someone can help me. Thank you very much in advance.
