Two men attempt to move a smalltree stump; they tie ropes to the stump and pull
horizontally, one man exerting a force of 700 N and the other a force of 850 N, in the
directions ihown in the diagram above. By drawing a scale diagram, find the
resultant force on the tree stumP'

4. Two forces of magnitude 5.0 N and 7.0 N on a small body, B. The angle between the
directions along w:hich the forces act is 40
0,
as illustrated in the diagram.
Determine the magnitude of the resultant force on the body B by completing the
diagram using a suitable scale. state clearly the scale
you have used.
