Homework Statement


Fill in the missing quantity for the following:

V = constant
FNet = ?
a = ?
F1 = ?

Homework Equations


FNet = Fn - Fg + Fa - FF
Fg = mg
FNet = ma

The Attempt at a Solution


Because I honestly do not know how to go about solving this, the only things I've done are review class notes and consult the textbook, both of which have left me empty-handed.

The diagram is rather crude, but I'll assume:
- all force lines are supposed to have arrows pointing away from the block
- all force lines are parallel
- the body is not accelerating
If the body is not accelerating, what do you know about the (vectorial) sum of the forces acting on it?
