A car is stuck in mud. Two ropes are tied to it. One rope pulls with $800\ \text{N}$ and the other with $500\ \text{N}$ . As the angle between the ropes is changed from $0^\circ$ to $180^\circ$ , the size of their resultant can be anything

← Two children pull a sledge across flat snow. One pulls with 30 N towards the east, and the other with 40 N towards the north, as the view from above in the figure shows. What single force would have the same effect as the two pulls together?Meera pulls her suitcase along the airport floor with a force of 60 N along the handle. The handle makes 30° with the floor, as the figure shows. Splitting the pull into two parts, how much of it moves the suitcase forward, and how much tries to lift it? →
