i just need help on the problem please!

anonymous · Answer

plus I am sorry but I do not know the answer

anonymous · Answer

calculate the vertical and horizontal components of each force, and then all the vertical forces together, then add horizontal forces together... after that u can combine the vertical and horizontal vector using pythagaros theorem to get the resulting force

anonymous · Answer

im not sure how to do all that .. im horrible in math and im just trying to pass so i can be done:(

anonymous · Answer

I know i have to resolve each vector into horizontal and vertical components using sin and cos but im not sure how to actually begin
