During a storm, a tree limb breaks off and comes to rest across a barbed wire fence at a point that is not in the middle between two fence posts. The limb exerts a downward force of 292 N on the wire. The left section of the wire makes an angle of 10.5° relative to the horizontal and sustains a tension of 412 N. Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (as an angle relative to horizontal) of the tension that the right section of the wire sustains.

Zoologists have studied the mechanics of locust jumping. When a locust jumps, as depicted in the figure, the resultant force R exerted by the hind legs is the sum of two forces. The first force W acts directly downward to support the locust's weight, which is about 0.02 newton. The second force F is for the takeoff; its magnitude is about 0.29 newton, and the direction makes an angle of 55° with the horizontal. W 55° Find the magnitude of the resultant force R = F + W.
