Three cattlemen are handling an unruly calf (Bos taurus). All three have ropes around the calf’s neck. One man is directly in front of the calf, exerting a force of 120. N. A second man is at a right angle to the calf on its right, pulling with a force of 110. N. The third man is on the calf’s left and ahead of it at a 30.0° angle from the rope of the first man, pulling with a force of 116 N. If the calf does not move, what forces is it exerting?
