In a two-dimensional tug-of-war, Alex, Betty, and Charles pull horizontally on an automobile tire at the angles
Question:
In a two-dimensional tug-of-war, Alex, Betty, and Charles pull horizontally on an automobile tire at the angles shown in the overhead view of Figure. The tire remains stationary in spite of the three pulls. Alex pulls with force FA of magnitude 220 N and Charles pulls with force F, of magnitude 170 N. Note that the direction of FC is not given. What is the magnitude of Betty's force FB?
Alex Charles Betty 137°
Step by Step Answer:
Since the tire remains stationary by Newtons second law the net force must be zero Fne...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
