Mechanics Course (Statics - Sheet 2)

This document contains 8 problems involving determining the magnitude and direction of resultant forces on objects based on diagrams showing the application of multiple forces. The problems involve calculating resultant forces from sets of forces using concepts of vector addition and resolving forces into Cartesian components. Solutions would require determining vector expressions for individual forces and using trigonometric functions to calculate the magnitude and direction of equivalent resultant forces.
