Three People Pulling a Stubborn Donkey: Magnitude and Direction of Net Force

Calculation of Net Force:

Given:

Jack's force (F1) = 64.7 N (east)

Jill's force (F2) = 61.5 N (northeast)

Jane's force (F3) = 171 N (southeast)

Calculations:

To find the net force, we need to calculate the components of each force in the x and y directions.

By decomposing the forces and adding them together:

Net Force (F) = 241.8 N

Angle (θ) = -18.7 degrees from the east direction
