grees, 141.4 N at 45°, and 100 N at 240°. Check your result graphically.
A) 0.341 kN at 0°
B) 0.335 kN at 45°
C) 0.15 kN at 65°
D) 0.15 kN at 25°

track is 40 m and its circumference is 126 m. Find (a) the average speed of the runner
and (b) the magnitude of the runner's average velocity. Be careful here; average speed
