Answer to Question #70569 in Physics for Kendal Sands

Question

Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls directly ahead of the donkey with a force of 97.3 N, Jill pulls with 94.1 N in a direction 45° to the left, and Jane pulls in a direction 45° to the right with 127 N. (Since the donkey is involved with such uncoordinated people, who can blame it for being stubborn?) Find the magnitude of the net force the people exert on the donkey.
