Problem

Two ropes pull horizontally on a metal ring: one exerts

20\,\text{N}

due east and the other exerts

30\,\text{N}

due north. If the ring remains at rest, what is the magnitude of a third horizontal force that must act on the ring? a)

50\,\text{N}

22\,\text{N}

36\,\text{N}

10\,\text{N}
