1. An object is subjected to the three forces and is at rest.

a. What can you infer about the total force on the object?

b. Sketch the addition of the force vectors below.

c. Resolve any vectors that are not parallel to the ax
d. Apply what you said in (a) along the x-axis to write an expression relating the x-components. Solve for
any components you can find.
e. Apply what you said in (a) along the y-axis to write an expression relating the y-components. Solve for
any components you can find.
