Homework Statement


calculate f3 weight and degree base on weight and angle given for f1 and f2, the whole thing has to achieve equilibrium.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


i forgot to copy down the formula since our team's equipment malfunctioned from the get go, so we spent the rest of the time playing catch up.

any help would be greatly appreciated, this is my first time posting so if i left anything out please notify me thank you guys
 
You probably need to know that Fnet= F1 + F2. But you aren't giving nearly enough information in the question for anyone to help you. Also, there is a thread containing all of the elementary physics formulay.

really? ok i'll look for it after posting this

well i been given f1 is 200gm at 30 degree and f2 is 200gm at 120 degree, calculate f3's gm and degree
