The rod is acted upon by two parallel forces F1 = 10N and F2 = 25N, directed in opposite directions at an angle a to the horizontal (Fig.). Determine the point of application and the magnitude of the force F, balancing F1 and F2, if the points of application of forces F1 and F2 are located at a distance of d = 1.5 m from each other.
