We say an object is in equilibrium if all the forces on it balance (add up to zero). the figure (Figure 1) shows a beam weighing 124 N that is supported in equilibrium by a 100.0-N pull and a force F⃗ at the floor. The third force on the beam is the 124-N weight that acts vertically downward.

I need help asap

So you gotta calculate F ?.. draw a free body diag and resolve the forces will ya?
