What more do you have for this problem? At a guess you are dealing with forces in 2 or 3 dimensions. So you have a component of force, $\displaystyle F_A$, pointing off in the "A direction." (Just like $\displaystyle F_x$ is a component of the force in the positive x direction.)

That's my best guess without more information.

Second diagram is $F + F_x + F_y = 0$, so yes, equilibrium. Last diagram is $F = F_x - F_y$ Thanks from topsquark

That's why I usually use "R" for the resultant force. It helps to keep track of these things.
