For a free body diagram shown in the figure, the four forces are applied in the \mathrm{ ' x ' \, and \: ' y ' }directions. What additional force must be applied and at what angle with positive \mathrm{\mathrm{x}-axis} so that the net acceleration of body is zero ?



 

Option: 1

\mathrm{\sqrt{2}N,45^{0}}


Option: 2

\mathrm{\sqrt{2} N, 135^{\circ}}
 


Option: 3

\mathrm{\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} N, 30^{\circ}}


Option: 4

\mathrm{2 N, 45^{\circ}}

For net acceleration of body to be zero,

\mathrm{\sum \bar{F}=0}

\mathrm{ i.e., \sum F_X=0\: and\: \sum F_Y=0}

\mathrm{\sum F_x=(+5)+(-6)+F \cos \theta=0}

\mathrm{F \cos \theta=1 \rightarrow (1)}

\mathrm{\sum F_y=+7+(-8)+F \sin \theta=0}
                    \mathrm{F \sin \theta=1 \rightarrow (2)}

\mathrm{(1) \div (2)}

\mathrm{\tan \theta =1}

\mathrm{\theta=45^{\circ}}

\mathrm{F=\frac{1}{\cos \theta}=\sqrt{2}}

Hence (1) is correct option
