An eye bolt is used to attach 3 cables to a steel plate. The tension in the three cables create F1=200 lbf, F2=250 lbf, and F3=100 lbf with 0 = 30 degrees and p=24.1 degrees. If the eye bolt is in equilibrium, what is the x-component of the sum of other forces on the bolt (force from the nut and plate on the bolt) ? If you add up the three force vectors, the sum other force you are looking for will just be in the opposite direction to put the eye bolt in equilibrium. The x-direction is positive to the right. For example, if you find the sum of forces 1, 2, and 3 are 100 Ibf to the right, then the other forces in the x-direction must be pointing to the left (-100 lbf) to put the eye bolt in equilibrium.
