Vectors
Two forces $\mathbf{F}_{1}$ and $\mathbf{F}_{2}$ act on an object shown in the figure. Graph the vector representing the resultant force; that is, find $\mathbf{F}_{1}+\mathbf{F}_{2}$

Introduction to Vectors
Equilibrium of Forces The forces $\mathbf{F}_{1}, \mathbf{F}_{2}, \ldots, \mathbf{F}_{n}$ acting at the same point $P$ are said to be in equilibrium if the resultant force is zero, that is, if $\mathbf{F}_{1}+\mathbf{F}_{2}+\cdots+\mathbf{F}_{n}=\mathbf{0} .$ Find (a) the resultant forces acting at $P,$ and (b) the additional force required (if any) for the forces to be in equilibrium. $\mathbf{F}_{1}=\mathbf{i}-\mathbf{j}, \quad \mathbf{F}_{2}=\mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j}, \quad \mathbf{F}_{3}=-2 \mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j}$
