    What Forces Are Needed to Maintain Equilibrium on a Frictionless Surface?

    Homework Statement A 5.0 Kg block at rest on a frictionless surface is acted on by forces F1= 5.5N and F2= 3.5N, as illustrated in the figure. A) What additional force (in unit vector notation) is required to keep the block at rest? B) What additional force (in unit vector notation) is...
