Fig. 3.1 presents a boat kept inside a shed. The boat hangs from the shed ceiling by two ropes. The diagram is labelled ceiling, ropes, boat, with each rope making an angle of $60^\circ$ to the ceiling, and tension $T$ in each rope.
(a(i))[4]
Draw a vector diagram to find the resultant force produced by the two ropes on the boat. State the scale that you used.
(a(ii))[1]
Determine the boat's mass.
(b)[2]
Circle two other vector quantities from the list. acceleration, density, energy, mass, momentum, power, refractive index.
