(a) Forces \(F_{1} = \begin{pmatrix} -5 & 4 \end{pmatrix} N; F_{2} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 5 \end{pmatrix} N; F_{3} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & -1 \end{pmatrix} N\) and \(F_{4} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & -5 \end{pmatrix} N\) act on a body. Find the :

(i) resultant of these forces ; (ii) fifth force that will keep the body in equilibrium.

(b) A body moving at 20 ms\(^{-1}\) accelerates uniformly at 2.5 ms\(^{-2}\) for 4 seconds. It continues the journey at the speed for 8 seconds, before coming to rest in t seconds with a uniform retardation. If the ratio of the acceleration to the retardation is 3 : 4,
