Problem 1: (25 Pts)

Determine the magnitude of the resultant force and its direction measured counterclockwise
from the positive x axis.

Problem 2: (25 Pts)

Consider two springs AB and AD and a Cable AC as shown in the figure. The two springs
have the same original length Lo = 450 mm and spring the constants are: kAB = 1.4 N/mm and
kAD = 0.6 N/mm. Determine the weight of the Block.
