In Example 2, is F1 = 20lb, F2 = 40lb  a solution?


Data from Example 2

Are the forces in the following system given by F1 = 18 lb  and F2 =  41lb ?

2F1 + 4F2 = 200

F2 = 2F1

Substituting into the equations, we have


Since one of these equations is not true, F1 = 18lb, F2 = 41lb is not a solution of the system.
