Question

Mechanics- forces in two dimensions

Two forces each of size 8N, have a resultant of 13N. 

a) Find the angle between the forces. 

b) The two given forces of magnitude 8N act on a particle of mass m kg, which remains at rest on a horizontal surface with no friction. The normal contact force between the surface and the particle has magnitude 7N. Find m and the acute angle that one of the 8N forces makes with the surface.

    help :( (diagrams 2,3,4 are included here ) QUESTION 7 A box is at rest on a horizontal, frictionless table. Horizontal force F1 points along the positive x-axis; when it is the only force acting on the box, the box accelerates at 6.75 m/s. Force F3 is also horizontal; it has magnitude 2.85F, and acts at an angle 22.6° to the direction of F1. If forces F1 and F3 act on the box at the same time, find the magnitude...
