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.

Homework Statement


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

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
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
