We need to find the angle that force T makes with the positive x-axis first. We call this the angle beta, β. This is depicted in the free-body diagram.
Free-body diagram:
Solving for the values of angles α and β.
\begin{aligned} \tan \alpha & = \dfrac{3}{4} \\ \alpha & = \tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4} \\ \alpha & = 36.8699 \degree \\ \end{aligned}
Knowing that the sum of angles α and β is 90°, we can solve for the β.
\begin{aligned} \alpha + \beta & = 90\degree \\ \beta & = 90 \degree - \alpha \\ \beta & = 90 \degree - 36.8699 \degree \\ \beta & = 53.1301 \degree \end{aligned}
Equations of Equilibrium:
Summation of forces in the x-direction:
\begin{aligned} \xrightarrow{+} \sum F_x & = 0 \\ T \cos \beta - \frac{4}{5} F & = 0 \\ T \cos 53.1301 \degree - \frac{4}{5} F & = 0 & & \qquad \qquad (1)\\ \end{aligned}
Summation of forces in the y-direction:
\begin{aligned} +\uparrow \sum F_y & =0 \\ 9 - \frac{3}{5} F- T \sin \beta & = 0 \\ T \sin 53.1301 \degree + \frac{3}{5}F & = 9 & & \qquad \qquad(2)\\ \end{aligned}
Now, we have two equations with two unknowns. We shall solve the unknowns by solving these equations simultaneously. We can use our calculator, or we can solve this manually using the method of substitution.
Using equation (1), solve for T in terms of F.
\begin{aligned} T \cos 53.1301\degree-\frac{4}{5} F & = 0 \\ T \cos 53.1301\degree & = \frac{4}{5} F \\ T & = \dfrac{\frac{4}{5}F}{\cos 53.1301\degree} \qquad \qquad (3)\\ \end{aligned}
Now, substitute this equation (3) to equation (2) to solve for F:
\begin{aligned} T \sin 53.1301 \degree + \frac{3}{5}F & = 9 \\ \left(\dfrac{\frac{4}{5}F}{\cos 53.1301\degree} \right) \sin 53.1301 \degree + \frac{3}{5}F & = 9 \\ \frac{4}{5}F \left( \dfrac{\sin 53.1301\degree}{\cos 53.1301\degree}\right)+ \frac{3}{5}F & = 9 \\ \frac{4}{5}F \tan 53.1301\degree+\frac{3}{5}F &=9 \\ F\left( \frac{4}{5} \cdot \tan 53.1301\degree +\frac{3}{5}\right) & = 9\\ F & = \dfrac{9}{\frac{4}{5} \cdot \tan 53.1301\degree +\frac{3}{5}} \\ F & = 5.4 \ \text{kN} \\ \end{aligned}
Substitute the value of F to equation (3) to solve for T:
\begin{aligned} T & = \dfrac{\frac{4}{5}F}{\cos 53.1301\degree} \\ T & = \dfrac{\frac{4}{5} \cdot \left( 5.4 \ \text{kN}\right)}{\cos 53.1301\degree} \\ T & = 7.2 \ \text{kN} \end{aligned}
Therefore, F = 5.4 \ \text{kN} and T= 7.2 \ \text{kN} .

Equations of Equilibrium:
Note that if we take the sum of forces in the x-direction, there are two unknown forces involve, but if we take the sum of forces in the y-direction, there is only one unknown force involve.
Summation of forces in the y-direction:
\begin{aligned} +\uparrow \sum F_y & =0& & & & & \\ 125- N_C \cos 40 \degree &=0 & & & & &\\ N_C &=\dfrac{125}{\cos 40 \degree} & & & & & \\ N_C & =163.1759 \ \text{N} \\ \end{aligned}
Summation of forces in the x-direction:
\begin{aligned} \xrightarrow{+} \sum F_x & =0 \\ N_B - 163.1759\ \sin 40 \degree &=0 \\ N_B &=163.1759 \sin 40\degree \\ N_B & = 104.8874 \ \text{N} \end{aligned}
Therefore, the normal reactions NB and NC on the bearing at its contact points B and C for equilibrium are 163.1759 N and 104.8874 N, respectively.

Equilibrium Equation:
Summation of forces in the x-direction:
\begin{aligned} \xrightarrow{+} \: \sum F_x & = 0 & \\ 5 \: \text{kN}+F \sin \theta - 8 \: \text {kN} \cos 30 \degree - 4\: \text{kN} \cos 60 \degree & = 0 & \\ F \sin \theta &= 3.9282 & (1) \end{aligned}
Summation of forces in the y-direction:
\begin{aligned} +\uparrow \sum F_y & = 0 &\\ 8 \sin 30 \degree - 4 \sin 60 \degree - F \cos \theta & =0 &\\ F \cos \theta & = 0.5359 & (2)\\ \end{aligned}
We now have two equations. Divide Eq (1) by (2)
\begin{aligned} \dfrac{F \sin \theta}{F \cos \theta} &= \dfrac{3.9282}{0.5359} \\ \dfrac{ \sin \theta}{ \cos \theta} & = 7.3301 \\ \end{aligned}
We know that \tan \theta = \dfrac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} :
\begin{aligned} \tan \theta &=7.3301 \\ \theta & = \tan^{-1}7.3301\\ \textcolor{blue}\theta & \textcolor{blue}{=82.2\degree}\\ \end{aligned}
Substituting this result to equation (1), we have
\begin{aligned} F\sin 82.2 \degree & = 3.9282 \\ \textcolor{blue}F & \textcolor{blue}{=3.96 \ \text{kN}} \end{aligned}

The summation of forces in the x-direction:
\begin{aligned} \sum F_x & = 0 &\\ 6 \sin 70 \degree + F_1 \cos \theta - 5 \cos 30 \degree - \dfrac {4}{5} \left(7 \right) & = 0 & \\ F_1 \cos \theta & = 4.2920 & (1) \end{aligned}
The summation of forces in the y-direction:
\begin{aligned} \sum F_y & =0 & \\ 6 \cos 70 \degree+5 \sin 30 \degree - F_1 \sin \theta - \dfrac{3}{5} \left( 7 \right ) & =0 & \\ F_1 \sin \theta &=0.3521 & (2)\\ \end{aligned}
We came up with 2 equations with unknowns F_1 and \theta . To solve the equations simultaneously, we can use the method of substitution.
Using equation 1, solve for F_1 in terms of \theta .
\begin{aligned} F_1 \cos \theta & = 4.2920 &\\ F_1 & =\dfrac{4.2920}{ \cos \theta } & (3) \\ \end{aligned}
Now, substitute this equation (3) to equation (2).
\begin{aligned} F_1 \sin \theta & = 0.3521 \\ \left ( \dfrac {4.2920}{\cos \theta} \right) \sin \theta & =0.3521 \\ 4.2920 \cdot \dfrac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} & = 0.3521 \\ 4.2920 \tan \theta & = 0.3521 \\ \tan \theta & = \dfrac{0.3521}{4.2920} \\ \theta &= \tan ^{-1} \dfrac{0.3521}{4.2920} \\ \theta & = 4.69 \degree \end{aligned}
Substitute the solved value of \theta to equation (3).
\begin{aligned} F_1 & = \dfrac{4.2920}{\cos \theta} \\ F_1 &= \dfrac{4.2920}{\cos 4.69 \degree} \\ F_1 & = 4.31 \text{kN} \end{aligned}
Therefore, the answers to the questions are:
\begin{aligned} F_1= & \:4.31 \: \text {kN} \\ \theta = & \: 4.69 \degree \end{aligned}

Take the sum of vertical forces considering upward forces positive, and equate to zero.
\begin{aligned} \sum F_y&=0 &\\ -F_1\sin60\degree+F_2\cos70\degree+5\sin30\degree-\dfrac{3}{5}\left(7\right)&=0 &\\ -0.8660F_1+0.3420F_2&=1.7 &(2)\\ \end{aligned}
Now, we have two equations with two unknowns F_1 and F_2 . So, we have a system of two equations. We can solve this using algebra, or we can directly use our calculator with this capability. The answers are
F_1=1.83 \: \text{kN}\\ F_2=9.60 \: \text{kN}
Statics of Rigid Bodies 14th Edition by RC Hibbeler, Problem 1-1
Part A: To convert the given mass in kilogram to newton force, we simply need to multiply by the acceleration due to gravity of 9.81 m/s2. We need to take into account that 1\:\text{kg m/s}^2\:=1\:\text{N} .
\begin {aligned} 8\:\text{kg} & =8\:\text{kg}\times 9.81\:\text{m/s}^2 \\ &=78.48\:\text{N} \end {aligned}
Part B: Using the same principle from Part A, we have
\begin {aligned} 0.04\:\text{kg}&=0.04\:\text{kg}\times 9.81\:\text{m/s}^2\\ &=0.3924\:\text{N} \end {aligned}
Part C: So, we are given 760 Mg (megagram). We know that 1 Mg is equivalent to 1000 kg. Therefore, 760 Mg is equal to 760,000 kg. Therefore, we have
\begin {aligned} 760\:000\:\text{kg}&=760\:000\:\text{kg}\times 9.81\:\text{m/s}^2\\ &=7\:455\:600\:\text{N} \end{aligned}
Solution:
Note: The publication of the solution to this problem is on its way. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Solution:
We are required to solve for the maximum distance. To do this, we can use the formula for the range of a projectile motion. However, we need the following assumptions:
The formula for range is
\text{R}=\frac{\text{v}_{\text{o}}^2\sin 2\theta _{\text{o}}}{\text{g}}
Since we are already given the necessary details, we can now solve for the range.
\begin{align*} \text{R}&=\frac{\left(9.5\:\text{m/s}\right)^2\:\sin 90^{\circ} }{9.81\:\text{m/s}^2}\\ \text{R}&=9.20\:\text{m}\ \qquad \ \color{DarkOrange} \left( \text{Answer} \right)\\ \end{align*}
Solution:
We are required to solve for the distance in a standing broad jump. To do this, we can use the formula for the range of a projectile motion. However, we need the following assumptions:
The formula for the range is
\text{R}=\frac{\text{v}_{\text{o}}^2\:\sin 2\theta _{\text{o}}}{\text{g}}
To find the initial velocity of the jump, vo, we shall use the kinematic formula from the crouch position to the time the person leaves the ground.
\text{v}_{\text{f}}^2=\text{v}_{\text{o}}^2+2\text{ax}
In this case, the final velocity will be the initial velocity of the jump.
\begin{align*} \text{v}_{\text{f}}=\sqrt{\left(0\:\text{m/s}\right)^2+2\left(1.25\times 9.81\:\text{m/s}^2\right)\left(0.600\:\text{m}\right)}=3.84\:\text{m/s} \end{align*}
So, the initial velocity of the flight is 3.84 m/s. We can now use the formula for range.
\begin{align*} \text{R}&=\frac{\text{v}_{\text{o}}^2\:\sin 2\theta_{\text{o}}}{\text{g}} \\ \text{R}&=\frac{\left(3.84\:\text{m/s}\right)^2\:\sin \left(2\times 45^{\circ} \right)}{9.81\:\text{m/s}^2}\\ \text{R}&=1.50\:\text{m} \ \qquad \ \color{DarkOrange} \left( \text{Answer} \right) \end{align*}
