Thank you very much all of you! I get the concept now. My mind was just stuck in a rut, I think. Once confused, I am not easily unconfused.

Well, I've got the right answer on this problem, but I don't know if/why the math makes sense. I feel like I got the right answer by coincidence. I'm rephrasing the question because it's part of a multipart question. A skier with mass of 100kg starts at point A with a velocity of...

Thanks for the reply! I can't think of any force with a lesser magnitude that would satisfy the other requirements. The value of sine at 90 degrees is 1, so if I rotate V3 around the origin at all towards the x-axis, sine would decrease and the magnitude of the vector would have to be higher...

Hi guys! I'm new here. Here is the problem, verbatim: Two people pull to the right on a box with forces of 100 Newtons at an angle of 60 degrees with respect to the x-axis into the first quadrant and 80 Newtons at an angle of 20 degrees down into the fourth quadrant respectively. A third...
