1. The problem statement, all variabHello. I uploaded a picture with the problem that concerns me. As you can see from my work so far...I have tried to solve the problem but I'm stuck. I have tried a few times and I'm starting to question myself if the problem is correct or not. Please give me a hand with this. Any help is appreciated. Thank you so much
Free-body diagram of a horizontal beam pivoted at a point on its left, with forces F1 pointing up, F2 pointing up-left, F3 pointing down-right at an angle, and F4 = 100 N pointing down at the right end; distances 0.1 m and 0.6 m marked from the pivot.
Handwritten notes on static equilibrium: a pivot-point diagram with forces F1, F2, F3 and 400 N, a free-body diagram below with resolved components, and equations for sums of forces and torques.
Handwritten free-body diagram of three forces F1 (500 N up), F2 and F3 (at 61 and 37 degrees), and F4 (400 N down) on a horizontal bar, with red working equations below including R = sqrt(Rx^2 + Ry^2) and F4 = F3 cos 37 + F2 cos 61.
Handwritten static equilibrium sketch: a beam with forces F1, F2, F3 and a 100 N load, with angles 37 and 61 degrees, and equations for the sums of x and y forces set to zero.

Your solution is so poor quality as to be unreadable. Please submit neat figures and work. You can upload figures from a graphics app, and you can use LaTex to write equations. I am temporarily closing this thread until a better quality presentation is made available.
