For the force system show in the figure:


1. Which of the following most nearly gives the magnitude, in Newtons, of the horizontal component of the force system (positive to the right):
A. -50                         C. 25
B. -25                         D. 50


2. Which of the following most nearly gives the magnitude, in Newtons, of the force needed to put the system in equilibrium:
A. 35                         C. 25
B. 50                         D. 44


3. Which of the following most nearly gives the angle, in degrees, that the force needed to put the system in equilibrium makes with the horizontal axis (positive counterclockwise):
A. -45                         C. 45
B. 135                        D. -135
