Question

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 FB 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 the elephant in part b of the drawing
is k times larger than that in part a. Find the ratio F/FA when k = 1.81.

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?

As you will see in a later chapter, forces are vector quantities, and the total force on an object is the vector sum of all forces acting on it. In the figure below, a forceF1of magnitude 6.40 units acts on a crate at the origin in a direction θ = 28.0° above the positive x-axis. A second force F2 of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the crate in the direction of the positive y-axis. Find graphically the magnitude and direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of the resultant force F1 + F2. magnitude units direction° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
