2.1) Two forces P and Q are applied as shown at point A of a hook support. Knowing that P = 75 N and Q = 125 N, determine graphically the magnitude and direction of their resultant using trigonometry.

2.3) The cable stays AB and AD help support pole AC. Knowing that the tension is 60 N in AB and 20 N in AD, determine graphically the magnitude and direction of the resultant of the forces exerted by the stays at A using trigonometry.

2.6) The 300-N force is to be resolved into components along lines a-a and bb. (a) Determine the angle by trigonometry knowing that the component along line b-b is to be 120 N. (b) What is the corresponding value of the component along a-a?

2.9) A trolley that moves along a horizontal beam is acted upon by two forces as shown. (a) Knowing that = 25, determine by trigonometry the magnitude of the force P so that the resultant force exerted on the trolley is vertical. (b) What is the corresponding magnitude of the resultant?

2.11) A steel tank is to be positioned in an excavation. Knowing that = 20, determine by trigonometry (a) the required magnitude of the force P if the resultant R of the two forces applied at A is to be vertical, (b) the corresponding magnitude of R.
