Three ropes pull on a knot that holds them together. Rope 1 exerts 20 N force in the positive x direction and rope 2 pulls with a 40 N force at an angle 53 degrees above the negative x axis. Rope 3 pulls with a force that balances the first two so that the net force on the knot is zero. Find the magnitude and direction of F3.

In a tug-of-war game on one campus, 15 students pull on a rope at both ends in an effort to displace the central knot to one side or the other. Two students pull with force 196 N each to the light, four students pull with force 98 N each to the left, five students pull with force 62 N each to the left, three students pull with force 150 N each to the right, and one student pulls with force 250 N to the left. Assuming the positive direction to the tight, express the net pull on the knot in terms of the unit vector. How big is the net pull on the knot? In what direction?
