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 force F, of magnitude 6.80 units acts on a box at the origin in a direction 6 = 29.0° above the positive x-axis. A second force F, of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the box 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 F, + Fa magnitude units direction o counterclockwise from the +x-axis

A stubborn dog is being walked on a leash by its owner. At one point, the dog encounters an interesting scent at some spot on the ground and wants to explore it in detail, but the owner gets impatient and pulls along the leash with force F = (86.4 N)i + (139.6 N)j + (34.8 N)k. (Here the unit vector k is directed vertically upward.) What is the magnitude of the pulling force in N? What angle does the leash make with the vertical?
