A stubborn dog is being walked on a leash by its owner. At one point, the dog encounters an interesting scent at some spot on the ground and wants to explore it in detail, but the owner gets impatient and pulls along the leash with force F = (86.4 N)i + (139.6 N)j + (34.8 N)k. (Here the unit vector k is directed vertically upward.) What is the magnitude of the pulling force in N? What angle does the leash make with the vertical?
