Two prospectors are pulling on ropes attached around the neck of a donkey that does not want to move. One prospector pulls with a force of 55 lb, and the other pulls with a force of 70 lb. If the angle between the ropes is 25°, as shown in the figure, then how much force must the donkey use in order to stay put? (The donkey knows the proper direction in which to apply his force). 55 lb 25° 70 lb The donkey must use (Round to one decimal place as needed.) Ibs of 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?
