A barge is pulled by the two tugboats shown in the following figure. One tugboat pulls on the barge with a force of magnitude 4000 units of force at 15 above the line AB (see the figure and the other tugboat pulls on the barge with a force of magnitude 5000 units of force at 12 below the line AB. Resolve the pulling forces to their scalar components and find the components of the resultant force pulling on the barge. What is the magnitude of the resultant pull? What is its direction relative to the line AB?
For all three situations, find the magnitude and direction of the tension force(s) exerted on Rochelle. If not enough information is given, say so. Explain your answers. a. Rochelle and Buddy pull on opposite ends of rope. The tension force exerted on Buddy is 15 N and is directed toward Rochelle. b. Now, one end of the rope is tied to a sturdy pole and Rochelle pulls on the other end. The tension force on the pole is 15 N directed toward Rochelle. c. Finally, Rochelle holds one rope in her left hand, and the other end of that rope is pulled by Joe. She holds another rope in her right hand, and the other end of that rope is pulled by Buddy. Both Buddy and Joe experience a 15-N force directed toward Rochelle.

Billie Budten and Mia Neezhirt are having an intense argument at the lunch table. They are adding two force vectors together to determine the resultant force. The magnitude of the two forces are 3 N and 4 N. Billie is arguing that the sum of the two forces is 7 N. Mia argues that the two forces add together to equal 5 N. Who is right? Explain.

VECTOR ADDITION: Find the sum of two ‘forces’: 100 g at 30º and 200 g at 120º, by: A) Graphical Method: Make the X- and Y-axes. Use a scale of 25 g = 1.0 cm. Draw arrows of appropriate lengths at 30º and 120º, both starting from the origin. Add them using the Parallelogram method. Measure the length and angle of the resultant. Convert length to magnitude of the resultant vector using the scale used to draw the vectors. Record the results in the Data Table. B) Analytical Method: Compute the sum of the two vectors by using the Component Method (Ax = A cosθ and Ay = A sinθ ) as well as the Triangle Method (A/Sin α = B / Sin β = C / Sin γ and C2 = A2 + B2 – 2AB Cos γ). Record the results in the Data Table.
