Two teenagers are pulling on ropes attached to a tree. The angle between the ropes is 30.0° . David pulls with a force of 400.0 N and Stephanie pulls with a force of 300.0 N. (a) Find the component form of the net force. (b) Find the magnitude of the resultant (net) force on the tree and the angle it makes with David’s rope.
While sliding a couch across a floor, Andrea and Jennifer exert forces F and F, on the couch. Andrea's force is due north with a magnitude of 140.0 N and Jennifer's force is 20° east of north with a magnitude of 170.0 N.
