2 people are pulling on a stubborn mule(at origin), assume that (person #1 pulling)F1=120N w/ an angle of 60 degrees in the first quadrant and (person #2 pulling)F2=80N w/ an angle of 75 degrees in the second quadrant.
(a)find a single force that is equivalent to theses forces given (magnitude and direction counter clockwise from + x-axis) and
(b)Find the force that a third person would have to exert on the mule to make the net force equal to zero (magnitude and direction counter-clockwise from + x-axis)
tried to figure this one out, but kept getting the wrong answer, if you could show work and explain that would be great thanks!
