Types of forces 05/07/10
The forces P, Q and R act on a particle
where i and j are perpendicular unit vectors.
The particle is at rest in equilibrium.
P =(ai+ 4j)N
Q=(2i-5j)N Find a and b.
R= (i+ bj) N

A block of mass 3kg rests on a rough, horizontal
surface. The block is pushed with a horizontal
force of 3N. The block is kept in equilibrium by a
frictional FN. Find F and the normal reaction.
