Chapter 3, Problem 13PQ
In Chapter 5, you will study a very important vector, force. Each case in Figure P3.13 shows an example of force vectors exerted on an object. These forces are all of the same magnitude F0. Assume that the forces lie in the plane of the paper. Rank the cases from greatest to smallest according to the magnitude of the total force. Note: The total force is the vector sum of the individual forces exerted on the object.
