The Attempt at a Solution
I included my attempt in the picture
In summary, a force is a push or pull that can cause an object to move, change direction, or change shape. It is a vector quantity and there are several types of forces, including gravitational, electromagnetic, strong nuclear, weak nuclear, friction, tension, and normal forces. Force is calculated by multiplying an object's mass by its acceleration, and net force refers to the overall force acting on an object while individual forces are specific forces acting on an object. Forces can also be represented graphically using vector diagrams, which show the magnitude and direction of each force. These diagrams are useful in solving force problems and understanding the overall effect of multiple forces on an object.

In part b, the tension is the unknown force. The tension is no longer 11000 N.

so then T=384Sin(7)? I tried doing this to a similar problem with different numbers since I had the answer on hand, but my answer was still WAY off.TSny said:

FAQ: (forces) Find the force problem
What is a force?
A force is a push or pull that can cause an object to move, change direction, or change shape. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (size) and direction.
What are the different types of forces?
There are several types of forces, including gravitational force, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force. Other common types of forces include friction, tension, and normal force.
How is force calculated?
Force is calculated by multiplying an object's mass by its acceleration. This can be represented by the equation F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.
What is the difference between net force and individual forces?
Net force refers to the overall force acting on an object, taking into account all of the individual forces acting on it. Individual forces, on the other hand, are the specific forces that act on an object, such as gravity or friction.
How can forces be represented graphically?
Forces can be represented graphically using vector diagrams, which show the magnitude and direction of each force acting on an object. These diagrams can be useful in solving force problems and understanding the overall effect of multiple forces on an object.
