Three ropes are tied to a small metal ring. At the end of each rope three students are pulling, each trying to move the
ring in their direction. If we look down from above, the forces and directions they are applying are shown in Fig. P-011.
Find the net force on the ring due to the three applied forces.

Part c: The resultant is zero

The resultant is zero if P and the 200 N force are equal in magnitude,
oppositely directed, and collinear.
