Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Force and Motion–I: Problem 6
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 Fig. 5.12. The tire remains stationary in spite of the three pulls. Alex pulls with force \(\vec{F}_A\) of magnitude \(220\text{ N}\), and Charles pulls with force \(\vec{F}_C\) of magnitude \(170\text{ N}\). Note that the direction of \(\vec{F}_C\) is not given. What is the magnitude of Betty’s force \(\vec{F}_B\)?
