Calculating Force Table Vector Equilibrium

AI Thread Summary
To achieve equilibrium in the force table, F3 must counterbalance the vector sum of F1 and F2. Given F1 is 200g at 30 degrees and F2 is 200g at 120 degrees, the net force (Fnet) can be calculated using vector addition. The missing information includes the specific formula for vector resolution, which is essential for determining F3's weight and angle. The discussion highlights the need for clarity in the problem statement to assist in accurate calculations. Understanding these principles is crucial for solving the equilibrium problem effectively.

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
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
