Options:
  • A $F_3-F_1-F_2$
  • B $\sqrt{\left(F_3-F_1\right)^2+F_2^2}$
  • C $\sqrt{\left(F_3-F_1\right)^2-F_2^2}$
  • D $F_3-F_1+F_2$

The correct answer is: $\sqrt{\left(F_3-F_1\right)^2+F_2^2}$

\(\begin{aligned}
& F_4 \sin \theta=F_2 \\
& F_4 \cos \theta=\left(F_3-F_1\right) \\
\therefore \quad & F_4=\sqrt{\left(F_3-F_1\right)^2+F_2^2}
\end{aligned}\)
For a closed loop there is no translation.
