Question: force system using the equations of equilibrium. Four forces act on a particle that is in equilibrium as shown in ( Figure 1 ) ,

force system using the equations of equilibrium.
Four forces act on a particle that is in equilibrium as
shown in (Figure 1), where F3 and P are in the xz-
plane. The magnitude of one force is known to be P
=800N.
So the equilibrium of the point can be written as the following set of equations.
??Fx=0,F1cos(60)cos(30)-23F2-F3cos(30)+Psin(20),=0
??Fy=0,-F1cos(60)sin(30)+23F2,=0
??Fz=0,F1sin(60)+13F2+F3sin(30)-Pcos(20),=0
Solve the system of equations for each of the unknown forces. What is the magnitude of F1?
Express your answer to three significant figures with appropriate units.
