Question:
In a two-dimensional tug-of-war, Alex, Betty, and Charles pull horizontally on an automobile tire at the angles shown in the picture (the given angle is 139°). The tire remains stationary in spite of the three pulls. Alex pulls with force F→A of magnitude 219 N, and Charles pulls with force F→C of magnitude 179 N. Note that the direction of F→C is not given. What is the magnitude of Betty's force F→B if Charles pulls in (a) the direction drawn in the picture or (b) the other possible direction for equilibrium?
