Answer
As the particle is rest or a = 0. So resultant force due to all forces will be zero. $\therefore$ Net components along X and Y-axis will be zero. Resolving all forces along X-axis $\text{F}_\text{x}=0$ $\text{F}_1+1\cos45^\circ-2\cos45^\circ=0$ or $\text{F}_1-1\cos45^\circ=0$ $\text{F}_1=\cos45^\circ=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}=\frac{1.414}{2}=0.707\text{N}$ Resolving all forces along Y-axis $\text{F}_\text{y}=0$ $-\text{F}_2+1\cos45^\circ+2\cos45%\circ=0$ $-\text{F}_2=-3\cos45^\circ$ $\text{F}_2=3.\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}=\frac{3\times1.414}{2}=3\times0.707=2.121\text{N.}$

From a certain apparatus, the diffusion rate of hydrogen has an average value of $28.7cm^3 s^{-1}$. The diffusion of another gas under the same conditions is measured to have an average rate of $7.2cm^3 s^{-1}$. Identify the gas. [Hint: Use Graham’s law of diffusion $\frac{\text{R}_1}{\text{R}_2}=\Big(\frac{\text{M}_2}{\text{M}_1}\Big)^{\frac{1}{2}},$ where $R_1 , R_2$ are diffusion rates of gases 1 and 2, and $M_1$ and $M_2$ their respective molecular masses. The law is a simple consequence of kinetic theory]
