asked • 02/16/21Two forces are applied to a block
which undergoes a displacement of 8.50m to the right along a frictionless surface while the force acts. The applied force, B = 350.0N and pulls the block to the right. Work equal to 780.0J is done by these two forces. What is the force F?
θ = 30°

Please specify which angle is 300
Which direction is F?
Mafer A.
Hello, I apologize for not adding those details. F is 30°, in the negative x-axis.

Two forces are 350 N in +x and FSin30 = F/2 in -ve X
Net force = 350 - F/2
Work done = Force * Distance = ( 350 - F/2) 8.5 = 780
F= 516.5 N

I do not understand the process after you defined the equation for Work. At first, was that an inequality? Second, by F/2 you meant (F sin 30)? I've tried multiple times, but my calculations do not equal 516.5N. I do not follow the reasoning behind.
