HW011

Three ropes are tied to a small metal ring. Three students are pulling, each trying to move the ring in their direction. If we look down from above, the forces and directions they are applying are shown in the figure.

Find the net force on the ring due to the three applied forces.

R = 53.79 lb downward to the left at $\theta_x$ = 17.16°.
