Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls directly ahead of the donkey with a force of 68.1 N, Jill pulls with 64.5 N in a direction 45 to the left, and Jane pulls in a direction 45 to the right with 163 N. (Since the donkey is involved with such uncoordinated people, who can blame it for being stubborn?) Determine the magnitude F of the net force the people exert on the donkey. What is the direction 0 of the net force? Let 0 define straight ahead, with positive angles to the left and negative angles to the right. Express 0 as an angle with a magnitude between 0 : 90. F = N 0 = Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey.

To find the net force exerted on the donkey we need to calculate the xcomponent and ycomponent of each force and then add up all the xcomponents and y... View the full answer
