What is a force diagram??

A diagram showing all the forces acting on an object.

What should you draw whenever you have a problem involving forces in Mechanics??

A force diagram.

In $\hat{i}$ and $\hat{j}$ notation, what is the value of a resultant force for an object in equilbrium??

$$ 0\hat{i} + 0\hat{j} $$

If $$ \left(\begin{matrix} 2+p \ 5+q \end{matrix}\right) $$ is parallel to $$ \left(\begin{matrix} 1 \ -2 \end{matrix}\right) $$, what equation could you write in terms of a new variable $k$ to aid in solving??

$$ \left(\begin{matrix} 2+p \ 5+q \end{matrix}\right) = \left(\begin{matrix} k \ -2k \end{matrix}\right) $$

If $$ \left(\begin{matrix} 2+p \ 5+q \end{matrix}\right) = \left(\begin{matrix} 1k \ -2k \end{matrix}\right)$$ is true, what two equations can you write??

$$ 2+p = k \\ 5+q = -2k $$

$$2+p = k \ 5+q = -2k$$ How could you rewrite this so it’s just in terms of $p$ and $q$??

$$ -2(2 + p) = 5 + q $$
