Chapter 4, Problem 4CQ
Three arrows are shot horizontally. They have left the bow and are traveling parallel to the ground as shown in Figure Q4.4. Air resistance is negligible. Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the magnitudes of the horizontal forces F1, F2, and F3 acting on the arrows. Some may be equal. State your reasoning.
