48. GO A baby elephant is stuck in a mud hole. To help pull it out, game keepers use a rope to apply a force FA, as part a of the drawing shows. By itself, however, force FA is insufficient. Therefore, two additional forces F, and Fc are applied, as in part b of the drawing. Each of these addi- tional forces has the same magnitude F. The magnitude of the resultant force acting on the elephant in part b of the drawing is k times larger than that in part a. Find the ratio F/F, when k = 2.00.

The helicopter view in Fig. P3.15 shows two people pulling on a stubborn mule. The person on the right pulls with a force F1 of magnitude 120 X and direction of 1 = 60.0. The person on the left pulls with a force F2 of magnitude 80.0 N and direction of 2 = 75.0. Find (a) the single force that is equivalent to the two forces shown and (b) the force that a third person would have to exert on the mule to make the resultant force equal to zero. The forces are measured in units of newtons (symbolized N). Figure P3.15
In a tug-of-war game on one campus, 15 students pull on a rope at both ends in an effort to displace the central knot to one side or the other. Two students pull with force 196 N each to the light, four students pull with force 98 N each to the left, five students pull with force 62 N each to the left, three students pull with force 150 N each to the right, and one student pulls with force 250 N to the left. Assuming the positive direction to the tight, express the net pull on the knot in terms of the unit vector. How big is the net pull on the knot? In what direction?
