For number four, it’s asking me to find a vector, and i believe i’m getting it wrong due to the fact that i’m not using the right brackets. Either that, or i’m just wrong altogether. Anyone know how to pull those up? It’s the less than/greater than ones, but they’re wider.

I formatted my answer using these symbols <>. It should look something like this: <x,y,z>.

Apparently, I was just doing it wrong altogether. I don’t know why, but I feel like I’m overthinking the problem here. Can you give me some tips by chance?

Since two forces are acting on an object, in order for the object to remain stationary, a third vector force must be applied to it. The force should be equal and opposite (because the object is stationary), so you should be able to find an equal, opposite vector to the two vectors given in the problem. Hope this helps!

Thank you! I figured it out just before your reply, but it means a lot that you helped!
