I can't finish the last problems on my homework. I asked my teacher and he wouldn't help me, can someone please help me? I'm so confused!

Hello greshrop. I suggest you should follow the guidelines here on posting anything related to your homework...
On the pictures you've given it says equilibrium or at rest.. So Summation of Forces will be zero.. Get the summation of Forces Along y and Summation of Forces Along x... sum it to zero.
