Do Exercise 3.16 again using analytical techniques and change the second leg of the walk to 25.0 m straight south. (This is equivalent to subtracting B from A —that is, finding R=AB ) (b) Repeat again, but now you first walk 25.0 m north and then 18.0 m east. (This is equivalent to subtract A from B —that is, to find A=B+C. Is that consistent with your result?)

In the answer, it gives a formula f-ff=m(0) and afterwards simplies into 120 - ff = 0 and further into ff=120N. My question is how do you not have to divide by 0 to finish the equation if that makes sense. To simply further why are we able to ignore the m(0) portion?
