What are the forces exerted by Jack, Jill, and Jane on the stubborn donkey? What is the magnitude of the net force exerted by the three people? And what is the direction of the net force in relation to the east direction?

Question

Elwyn · Answer

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 (Î¸) = -18.7 degrees from the east direction
