A baby elephant is stuck in a mud hole. To help pull it out, game keepers use a rope to apply a force FA, as part a of the drawing shows. By itself, however, force FA is insufficient. Therefore, two additional forces Fg and Fc are applied, as in part b of the drawing. Each of these additional forces has the same magnitude F. The magnitude of the resultant force acting on F when k = 1.60. (Take FA the elephant in part b of the drawing isk times larger than that in part a. Find the ratio 0 = 25.0°.) = 0.88 FA FB (a) (b)

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:
