Question: In ( Figure 1 ) , set F 2 = 7 0 0 N . Figure 1 of 1 Two forces act on a hook

In (Figure 1), set F2
=700 N
.
Figure1 of 1
Two forces act on a hook attached to the lower side of a horizontal support. The x axis points horizontally to the right. The y axis points vertically upward. The bottom of the hook is located at the origin. Force F subscript 1 equals 500 newtons and acts downward and to the right making an angle of 60 degrees with the negative y axis. Force F subscript 2 acts downward and to the left. The angle it makes with the negative y axis is an angle of a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 5, a leg adjacent to this angle of 3, and an opposite leg of 4.
Part A
Determine the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the hook.
