In one of the hardest football tackles made on Travis Kelce in the Super Bowl, three opposing players made direct contact with him at the exact same time during a tackle to stop him from crossing into the end zone for a touch down. All three forces from the opposing team's players were co-planar horizontal forces but came from different directions. Player 1 imparted a 1200 N force onto Travis' right side that was directed to Travis's immediate left, player 2 imparted a 900 N force onto Travis' left side that was directed to his immediate right and player 3 imparted a 800 N force on Travis' front side that was directed immediately backwards. What was the resultant or net horizontal force acting on Travis during the four person collision?
