Detailed Solution

From given figure, we can write all the forces in vector notation as

Question Image

           OP=20sin30i^+20cos30j^N      =(10i^+17.32j^)NOQ=10cos30i^+10sin30j^N      =(8.66i^+5j^)NOR=20cos45i^20sin45j^N      =(14.14i^14.14j^)NOS=15cos45i^15sin45j^N      =(10.60i^10.60j^)NOT=15sin60i^+15cos60j^N      =(12.99i^+7.5j^)N

The resultant of these forces is given as

           F=OP+OQ+OR+OS+OT           F=[(10i^+17.32j^)+(8.66i^+5j^)+(14.14i^14.14i^)+(10.60i^10.60j^)+(12.99i^+7.5j^)] F=9.21i^+5.08j^ N F9.25i^+5j^ N

Thus, the resultant force is

       F9.25i^+5j^ N
