    Free body diagrams and adding forces

    Ax : 3sin(20)=1.02606 F = -1.02606-1+5 = 2.97394 = 2.97394/2.6 = 1.14382 Ay : 3cos(20)= 2.81908 F = -2.81908 + 2.82 = 0.000922 = 0.000922/2.6 = 0.000355

    Free body diagrams and adding forces

    For x comp. of 3N = 1.02606 y= 2.81908 My guess for F net is 2.97394... ax = F/M 1.14382?ay = .000354 wrong
