2. A gardener and his helper are removing a large boulder from a hole. They are pulling on ropes attached to the
boulder. The ropes make a 40° angle. If the gardener is pulling with a force of 115N and his helper is pulling with a
force of 105N, what is the magnitude and direction of the net force on the boulder?

5. A painting is supported by two wires of equal length attached to its corners and tied to a single hook in the wall.
The wires make a 70° angle with one another. What is the tension in each wire if the painting weighs 7.5 pounds?

6. Suppose you push a cart full of packages weighing 125 lbs up a ramp 10 feet long at an incline of 20°. Find the
work done by gravity as the cart moves the length of the ramp. Assume friction is not a factor.
