1. Starting from +x-axis,
compute the resultant of the
following forces: 100 N @ 30
degrees, 141.1 N @45
degrees, and 100 N @ 240
degrees.
2. Two balls are dropped to the
ground from different
heights. One is dropped 1.5 s
after the other, but they both
strike the ground at the
same time, 5 seconds after
the first ball was dropped.
