You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Those forces are like this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "F1:  90 degrees, 10 Newtons\r\n" );
document.write( "F2:  30 degrees, 30 N\r\n" );
document.write( "F3:  10 degrees, 20 N\r\n" );
document.write( "F4:  120 degrees, 10 N\r\n" );
document.write( "
