Check Your Understanding Suppose that Balto in Example 2.10 leaves the game to attend to more important matter, but Astro Clifford and Dug continue playing. Astro and Clifford’s pull on the toy does not change, but Dug rims around and bites on the toy in a different place. With how big a force and in what direction must Dug pull on the toy now to balance out the combined pulls from Clifford and Astro? Illustrate this situation by drawing a vector diagram indicating all forces involved.

A car is being pulled out of the mud by two ropes. Each with a magnitude Force of 2900N. the angle inbetween the ropes, pulling from the front of the car, is 30 degrees. a dashed line bisects the angle (15 degrees on each side). how much force would a single rope need to apply the same effect as the two forces added together? what angle would the single rope make relative to the dashed line?
Three forces act on a point: 3 N at E, 4 N at N°, and 5 N at 30° at S of W. What is the net force, direction and resultant angle?

If the forces on the beam are replaced by an equivalent Force-Position system, determine the distance d where the resultant force must be placed. F = 58 N, P = 97 N, Q = 18 N, a = 1.5 m, b = 1.5 m and c = 1.9 m.
For serious fractures of the leg, the leg may need to have a stretching force applied to it to keep contracting leg muscles from forcing the broken bones together too hard. This is often done using traction, an arrangement of a rope, a weight, and pulleys as shown. The rope must make the same angle u on both sides of the pulley so that the net force of the rope on the pulley is horizontally to the right, but θ can be adjusted to control the amount of traction. The doctor has specified 50 N of traction for this patient, with a 4.2 kg hanging mass. What is the proper angle θ?
