                     A particle is being acted upon by three coplanar forces with magnitudes and directions
                     as indicated in FIGURE 4.13. Determine whether the particle is in equilibrium.

                     FIGURE 4.14 shows a 0.4 kg block being pushed against a rough vertical wall by a
                     force F at an angle 45 with respect to the horizontal. The block remains stationary.

                     (a)  Sketch a free body diagram of all the forces acting on the block.         [2 m]

                     (b)  If the coefficient of static friction,  s = 0.20, what is the magnitude of F?   [3 m]
