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!

SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on solving equilibrium problems in physics homework. The key principle highlighted is that the summation of forces must equal zero for an object in equilibrium. Participants emphasize the importance of analyzing forces in both the x and y directions to achieve this balance. Specific guidance includes breaking down the problem into components and applying the equilibrium condition systematically.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of Newton's Laws of Motion
- Basic knowledge of vector components
- Familiarity with free-body diagrams
- Ability to perform algebraic summation
- Study the principles of static equilibrium in physics
- Practice drawing and analyzing free-body diagrams
- Learn how to apply vector addition in two dimensions
- Explore examples of equilibrium problems in physics textbooks
Students struggling with physics homework, particularly those focusing on equilibrium concepts, as well as educators seeking to provide clearer explanations of these principles.

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.
