Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls directly ahead of the donkey with a force of 98.1 N, Jill pulls with 90.7 N in a direction 45° to the left, and Jane pulls in a direction 45° to the right with 115 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. magnitude of the net force: What is the direction of the net force? Express this as the angle from straight ahead between 0° and 90°, with a positive sign for angles to the left and a negative sign for angles to the right. direction of the net force:

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?
