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?
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
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.
