Five boys are pushing on a snowball, and each is pushing with a force of 10.0.0 N. However, each boy is pushing in a different direction. They are pushing north, northeast, east, southeast, and south. (Each boy is pushing at an angle of 45.0° relative to his neighbor.) What is the magnitude of the total force on the ball?
a. 0
b. 14.1 N
c. 24.1 N
d. 11.4 N
e. 48.3 N

In a diffraction experiment, light of 600. nm wavelength produces a first-order maximum 0.350 mm from the central maximum on a distant screen
A second monochromatic source produces a third-order maximum 0.870 mm from the central maximum when it passes through the same diffraction grating. What is the wavelength of the light from the second source?
