Question 7

A mobile stage platform is stationary on a level floor. Its weight is 400 N. The floor exerts a normal contact force of 300 N upwards and a frictional force of 100 N to the left. A cable pulls the platform diagonally upwards and to the right. What are the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted by the cable?
