The video tutorial explains how to achieve equilibrium by balancing forces acting on a mule. It starts with two vectors pulling the mule at angles, resulting in a net force. The tutorial calculates the resultant vector's magnitude and direction. To neutralize this force, a third force is introduced, requiring a specific magnitude and angle to achieve a net force of zero. The tutorial concludes with the calculation of this opposite force and its angle.

What is the magnitude of the resultant vector acting on the mule?

• 150 newtons

• 250 newtons

• 185 newtons

• 200 newtons

At what angle is the resultant vector directed?

• 78 degrees

• 45 degrees

• 60 degrees

• 90 degrees

What is the angle of the force needed to counteract the resultant vector?

• 300 degrees

• 258 degrees

• 200 degrees

• 180 degrees

How many newtons must the third person exert to achieve equilibrium?

• 150 newtons

• 185 newtons

• 200 newtons

• 250 newtons

What is the purpose of the third person's force in this scenario?

• To change the direction of the net force

• To decrease the net force

• To increase the net force

• To make the net force zero
