Question

Three ropes are tied to an object; Ye, Huang and Salvador are playing a game of “tug-
of-war”. Ye pulls at a constant force of 90N while Huang pulls at a force of 120N, and their

two ropes form a 20 degree angle. Calculate the magnitude and direction the equilibrium
force that Salvador must apply to keep the object in place. Draw and label a diagram to
illustrate this situation.
