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 FB and Fc are applied, as in part b of the drawing. Each of these additional 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/FA when k = 1.89.

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?

A force F1 of magnitude 5.30 units acts on an object at the origin in a direction θ = 42.0° above the positive x-axis. (See the figure below.) A second force F2 of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the object in the direction of the positive y-axis. Find graphically the magnitude and direction of the resultant force F1 + F2. magnitude = ? /units direction = ?˚ /counterclockwise from the +x-axis
Two teenagers are pulling on ropes attached to a tree. The angle between the ropes is 30.0° . David pulls with a force of 400.0 N and Stephanie pulls with a force of 300.0 N. (a) Find the component form of the net force. (b) Find the magnitude of the resultant (net) force on the tree and the angle it makes with David’s rope.
Q1/ A force F, acts at the origin in a direction 30° above the positive x- axis. A second force F2 acts at the origin in a direction of the positive y- axis. The magnitude of the resultant force is 9.5 units and makes an angle of 57° with the x-axis. Calculate the magnitudes of the two forces.
As you will see in a later chapter, forces are vector quantities, and the total force on an object is the vector sum of all forces acting on it. In the figure below, a forceF1of magnitude 6.40 units acts on a crate at the origin in a direction θ = 28.0° above the positive x-axis. A second force F2 of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the crate in the direction of the positive y-axis. Find graphically the magnitude and direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of the resultant force F1 + F2. magnitude units direction° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
