If we want the object to continue to move at constant speed, it means that the resultant of the forces acting on the object must be zero. So far, we have:
- force F1 with direction north, of 10 N
- force F2 with direction west, of 10 N
The third force must balance them, in order to have a net force of zero on the object.
The resultant of the two forces F1 and F2 is

with direction at

north-west. This means that F3 must be equal and opposite to this force: so, F3 must have magnitude 14.1 N and its direction should be

south-east.
Answer: Machanical advantage of the machine is 1.86
Explanation: Machanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the Force to overcome which is the load in this case 24kg * 10= 240N to the force exerted(Effort) to overcome the load in this case 129N.
So, we have
MA = load/effort
= 240N/129N
= 1.86.
