2. Two students are trying to pull a sled forward in a straight line. One pulls 30 degrees to the right of forward with a 100 lb force. The second is pulling 45 degrees left of forward. Determine the force the second student must apply in order to pull the sled straight ahead. Also what is the total forward force on the sled 3. A vector has a magnitude of 50 kN and points away from the origin in the 2nd quadrant making an angle of 30 degrees from the positive y axis. Determine the vertical vector which, when added to this first vector, gives the smallest magnitude resultant. Determine the magnitude and direction for both the second vector and the resultant vector. 2. Two students are trying to pull a sled forward in a straight line.
