- Three rugby players are pulling horizontally on ropes attached to a box, which remains stationary. Player 1 exerts a force F equal to 200 N at an angle 0, equal to –60.0° with respect to the +x-direction, as shown in the figure. Player 2 exerts a force F2 equal to 300 N at an angle 02 equal to 37.0° with respect to the +x-direction. The view in the figure is from above.

Two figures show a side view of a crate positioned upon a horizontal surface. Figure (a): An arrow pointing downward and to the right is labeled vector F and forms an angle of 20° below the horizontal as it approaches the upper left edge of the crate. Figure (b): An arrow pointing upward and to the right is labeled vector F and forms an angle of 20° above the horizontal as it extends from the upper right edge of the crate.
