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 particle, which remains at rest, is acted on by three forces F, G and H. The force F has magnitude 16N and is directed to the right and down, making an angle of 50 degrees with the horizontal. The force G has magnitude 7N and is directed to the left and down, making an angle of 50 degrees with the horizontal. Find the magnitude of the vector H, and the acute angle it makes with the horizontal. Give the magnitude to one decimal place and the angle to the nearest degree. What is the magnitude of H and what is the acute angle H makes with the horizon?
In Fig, a slab of mass m1 =40 kg rests on a frictionless floor, and a block of mass m2 =10kg rests on top of the slab. Between block and slab, the coefficient of static friction is 0.60, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40. A horizontal force of magnitude 100 N begins to pull directly on the block, as shown. In unit-vector notation, what are the resulting accelerations of (a) the block and (b) the slab?
A particle, which remains at rest, is acted on by three forces F, G and H. The force F has magnitude 18N and is directed to the left and down, making an angle of 40 degrees with the vertical. The force G has magnitude 15N and is directed to the right and down, making an angle of 70 degrees with the horizontal. Find the magnitude of the vector H and the acute angle it makes with the horizontal.

Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls eastward with a force of 94.5 N,94.5 N, Jill pulls with 88.1 N88.1 N in the northeast direction, and Jane pulls to the southeast with 181 N.181 N. (Since the donkey is involved with such uncoordinated people, who can blame it for being stubborn?) Find the magnitude of the net force the people exert on the donkey. What is the direction of the net force? Express this as the angle from the east direction between 0°0° and 90°,90°, with a positive sign for north of east and a negative sign for south of east.
