Problem: Three ropes pull on a ring: 400 N along \(+x\), 300 N at \(75^\circ\) and 250 N at \(150^\circ\), all measured counterclockwise from \(+x\). Add the first two forces with the triangle rule, then add the third to their sum. Give the magnitude of the first sum, and the magnitude and direction of the final resultant.
