  1. Two forces, both of magnitude 5 N , act on a particle in the directions with bearings \(000 ^ { \circ }\) and \(070 ^ { \circ }\), as shown. Calculate
    1. the magnitude of the resultant force on the particle,
    2. the bearing on which this resultant force acts.
    3. A uniform plank \(X Y\) has length 7 m and mass 2 kg . It is placed with the portion \(Z Y\) in contact with a
