Three forces are applied to an object, as shown in the figure. Force F1 has a magnitude of 21.6 newtons (21.6 N) and is directed 30.0° to the left of the +y axis. Force F2 has a magnitude of 15.3 N and points along the +x axis. What must be the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (specified by the angle 0 in the drawing) of the third force F3 such that the vector sum of the three forces is ON? (a) Number F3 30.0 Units (b) Number i Units F₂ +x

In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day and he is blown along the following directions: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 1.30 km and 25.0 south of west, then 5.10 km straight east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use a graphical method to find the castaway’s final position relative to the island.
