A particle is said to be in static equilibrium if the resultant of all forces applied to it is zero. Find the force F that must be applied to a particle to produce static equilibrium if there are two forces, each of 10 N, applied so that one acts above the positive x-axis and the other acts below the positive x-axis. Give the magnitude of the resultant, in newtons, acting in the negative x direction.
A) 10
B) 20
E) 40
