The Force Exerted on the Moon (Figure 1)shows the Earth, Moon, and Sun (not to scale) in their relative positions at the time when the Moon is in its third-quarter phase. Though few people realize it, the force exerted on the Moon by the Sun is actually greater than the force exerted on the Moon by the Earth. In fact, the force exerted on the Moon by the Sun has a magnitude of FSM = 4.34 × 102⁰ N, whereas the force exerted by the Earth has a magnitude of only FEM = 1.98 x 1020 N. These forces are indicated to scale in the figure. Figure FEM 4 Moon Earth ESM Sun 1 of 1 >

The gravity on the Moon is equal to 20.52 meters per second squared. During the battle between Alice and Fernanda, Alice was victorious because Fernanda was unable to lift Claudia's hammer, which had been placed in the Moon by Steph after Claudia was murdered by Steph. If Alice is worthy, but she can only lift Claudia's hammer 0.8 meters above the ground on the moon, how high can Alice lift the hammer if the fight takes place on earth?

A stubborn dog is being walked on a leash by its owner. At one point, the dog encounters an interesting scent at some spot on the ground and wants to explore it in detail, but the owner gets impatient and pulls along the leash with force F = (86.4 N)i + (139.6 N)j + (34.8 N)k. (Here the unit vector k is directed vertically upward.) What is the magnitude of the pulling force in N? What angle does the leash make with the vertical?
