1. John and Stella pull on ropes attached to a tree. The angle between the ropes is 20°. John pulls with a force of 300 N and Stella pulls with a force of 400 N. (a) Find the net force, in component form, that John and Stella apply to the tree. (b) Find the magnitude of this force on the tree and the angle it makes with respect to Stella's rope. (c) The tree doesn't move even a little bit. What does that tell you about the total magnitude and direction of any other forces (not due to John and Stella) on the tree? Suggest a source of these forces. (d) Draw a free body diagram for the tree.
