Question: three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls directly ahead of the donkey with a force of 8 7 . 7 N ,

three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls directly ahead of the donkey with a force of 87.7 N, Jill pulls with 69.9 N in a direction 45 to the left, and Jane pulls in a direction 45 to the right with 149 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* and 90.
