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.

Hanging from the ceiling over a baby bed, well out of baby’s reach, is a string with plastic shapes, as shown here. The string is taut (there is no slack), as shown by the straight segments. Each plastic shape has the same mass m , and they are equally spaced by a distance d , as shown. The angles labeled describe the angle formed by the end of the string and the ceiling at each end. The center length of sting is horizontal. The remaining two segments each form an angle with the horizontal, labeled .
