Question: The structure has two frictionless pulleys around which a string is wrapped. If ( W = 4 2 mathrm { lb }

The structure has two frictionless pulleys around which a string is wrapped. If \( W=42\mathrm{lb}\), determine a force system that is equivalent to the forces applied by the string, where this force system consists of a single force, and specify the \( x \) coordinate of the point where the force's line of action intersects the \( x \) axis. (Round the final answers to four decimal places. Do not include a minus sign in your response.)
The value of \(\left(F_{R}\right)_{X}\) of the equivalent force system is
\(\mathrm{lb}\leftarrow \).
The value of \(\left(F_{R}\right) y \) of the equivalent force system is
\(\mathrm{lb}\downarrow \).
The \( x \) coordinate of the point where the equivalent force's line of action intersects the \( x \) axis is in.
