The ring is at rest. What does this tell you about the sum of all of the forces acting on it?
Attempted the question. Attached is my working. Does it make sense?SteamKing said:Ya can't figure anything on this problem? Ya can't at least calculate the components of vector A?

SteamKing said:You double quoted my post. Do you have anything else to add?
SteamKing said:Well, now you're double posting blurry images, but it looks like you have decomposed vector A into its components.
NOTE: Your last image post came out sharp and clear.
Do you understand how the components of A must match up with vectors B and C to put the ring in equilibrium?
