Teams A, B, and C are playing a game of strength. Each team has attached a rope to a metal ring and is trying to pull the ring into their own area (team areas shown below).
Team A pulls with force vector ă = 4ỉ + Oĝ
Team B pulls with
force vector b = –2î +49
Team C pulls with force vector č= -3î - 39
(Forces are given in kilo newtons, kN.)
Which team will win the game?
What is the magnitude of the teams combined force acting on the ring?
In what direction is the ring getting pulled? Assume 0 is the rightward direction
