Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls eastward with a force of 94.5 N,94.5 N, Jill pulls with 88.1 N88.1 N in the northeast direction, and Jane pulls to the southeast with 181 N.181 N. (Since the donkey is involved with such uncoordinated people, who can blame it for being stubborn?) Find the magnitude of the net force the people exert on the donkey. What is the direction of the net force? Express this as the angle from the east direction between 0°0° and 90°,90°, with a positive sign for north of east and a negative sign for south of east.

In a tug-of-war game on one campus, 15 students pull on a rope at both ends in an effort to displace the central knot to one side or the other. Two students pull with force 196 N each to the light, four students pull with force 98 N each to the left, five students pull with force 62 N each to the left, three students pull with force 150 N each to the right, and one student pulls with force 250 N to the left. Assuming the positive direction to the tight, express the net pull on the knot in terms of the unit vector. How big is the net pull on the knot? In what direction?

Four forces act on an object and are given by A = 37.3 N east, B = 38.3 N to the north, C = 62.7 N to the west, Y D = 64.7 N to the south. (Consider that east goes in the direction of the + x axis and that north goes in the direction of the + y axis.) a) What is the magnitude of the net force (in N) on the object? b) What is the direction of the force? (Enter your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the + x axis)
A crate is pulled to the right with a force of 72.2 N, to the left with a force of 119.2 N, upward with a force of 590.8 N, and downward with a force of 244.2 N. What is the net external force in the y-direction? Answer in units of N. What is the magnitude of the net external force on the crate? Answer in units of N.
Three forces act on a statue. Force F1 (magnitude 45.0 N) points in the +x-direction, Force F2 (magnitude 105 N) points in the +y-direction, and force F3 (magnitude 235 N) is at an angle of 36.9° from the -x-direction and 53.1° from the +y-direction. counterclockwise from the +x-direction. Find the x- and y- components of the net external force F on the statue.
A gust of wind blows an apple from a tree. As the apple falls, the force of gravity on the apple is 9.21 N downward, and the force of the wind on the apple is 1.03 N to the right. What is the magnitude of the net external force on the apple? Answer in units of N.
The three ropes in figure shown are tied to a small, very light ring. Two of the ropes are anchored to walls at right angles, and the third rope pulls at an angle of 140° to the first rope with a force of 138.0 N. What is T1(in N), the magnitude of the tension force in the first rope? What is T2 (in N), the magnitude of the tension force in the second rope?
Four forces act on an object, given by A = 38.3 N east, B = 30.3 N north, C = 76.7 N west, and D = 66.7 N south. (Assume east and north are directed along the +x-axis and +y-axis,respectively.) What is the magnitude of the net force (in N) on the object? What is the direction of the force? (Enter your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)
Three kids are pulling on a toy, but they aren't moving it. One kid is pulling at an angle of 150 degrees relative to the +x axis, with a force of 50.0 N. Another kid is pulling on the toy at an angle of 40 degrees to the +x axis with a force of 10.0 N. What is the magnitude of the force (in Newtons) that the 3rd kid is applying to the toy? For the situation above, what is the direction (angle) of the force exerted by the 3rd kid? Your answer for the angle should be in degrees relative to the +x axis.
