4. An ant walks 8 squares to the East then walks 8 squares to the South then turns and walks 12 squares to the West and finally 18 squares to the North. What was the displacement of the ant?

5. Three men were trying to pull a tree stump out of the ground. The first man was pulling with a force of 100 N to the North. The second man was pulling with a force of 75 N at an angle of 45 degrees North of East. The third man was pulling at 75 N at an angle of 45 degrees North of West. What resultant force is being applied to the tree stump?
