Well, this is embarrassing.
My friend who I was working on it with and I both failed to see the direction of the arrow F1...
As it is pointing downwards, not upwards, this question makes a lot more sense now...
Sorry for your time!
:blushing:
1. If the problem statement, all variables and given/known data
The resultant force acting is directed along the positive x-axis, determine the magnitudes of F2 and the resultant force
And that F3x=4 and that F3y=3 (its a right angle 3-4-5 triangle)
Homework Equations
F1=F1x +F1Y
F2=F2x +F2Y...
