The figure shows an overhead view of a 0.025 kg lemon half and two of the three horizontal forces that act on it as it is on a frictionless
table. Force F has a magnitude of 7 N and is at 0, = 29°. Force F, has a magnitude of 9 N and is at e, = 26". In unit-vector
(12 – 16) m/s, and (c) has the
notation, what is the third force if the lemon half (a) is stationary, (b) has the constant velocity
= (14i – 13fj) m/s², where t is time?
