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 t one side or the other. Two students pull with force 198 N each to the right, four students pull with force 94 N each to the left, five students pull withforce 60 N each to the left, three students pull with force 160 N each to the right, and one student pulls with force 260 N to the left. Assuming the positive direction to the right, express the net pull on the knot (in N) in terms of the unit vector i.NFnet =How big is the net pull on the knot (in N)?

Four forces act on an object, given by A = 40.3 N east, B = 43.3 N north, C = 74.7 N west, D = 78.7 N south. (Assume east and north are directed along the +x-axis and +y-axis,respectively.) (a) What is the magnitude of the net force (in N) on the object? (b) What is the direction of the force? (Enter your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)
Two people are pulling a heavy 95 kg box across the floor as shown in the figure. Person A is pulling in the x-direction only with a force of 20 N. Person B is pulling at an angle e = 40° above the x-direction, also with a force of 20 N. What is the total pulling force on the box in the x-direction?
In a two-dimensional tug-of-war, Alex, Betty, and Charles pull horizontally on an automobile tire at the angles shown in the picture. The tire remains stationary in spite of the three pulls.

In Figure (a), a constant horizontal force F is applied to block A, which pushes against block B with a 21.0 N force directed horizontally to the right. In Figure (b), the same force is applied to block B; now block A pushes on block B with a 13.0 N force directed horizontally to the left. The blocks have a combined mass of 12.0 kg. What are the magnitudes of (a) their acceleration in Figure (a) and (b) force F. ? (a) Number i (b) Number i A B (a) Units Units BA (b)
Two buckets of sand hang from opposite ends of a rope that passes over an ideal pulley. Onebucket is full and weighs 120 N; the other bucket is only partlyfilled and weighs 63 N. (a) Initially, you hold onto the lighterbucket to keep it from moving. What is the tension in the rope?(b) You release the lighter bucket and the heavier one descends.What is the tension in the rope now? (c) Eventually the heavierbucket lands and the two buckets come to rest. What is the tension in the rope now? Show your work and explain
Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls eastward with a force of 94.5 N,94.5 N, Jill pulls with 88.1 N88.1 N in the northeast direction, and Jane pulls to the southeast with 181 N.181 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. What is the direction of the net force? Express this as the angle from the east direction between 0°0° and 90°,90°, with a positive sign for north of east and a negative sign for south of east.
