An object is subjected to the forces shown in Fig. 5-25. What single force F applied at a point on the x-axis will balance these forces leaving the object motionless? (First find its components, and then find the force.) Where on the x-axis should the force be applied? Notice that before F is applied there is an unbalanced force with components to the left and upward.
