Solution Preview
Newton's first law states that the total force applied to a body must be zero if the body is at rest or moving with constant velocity.
In this case we have to apply this law in both vertical and horizontal directions.
The forces applied on the obect are ...
Solution Summary
In the first case, the solution is found by applying Newton's first law in both vertical and horizontal directions.
