Problem

A small metal ring is held stationary by three cords. Two horizontal cords pull on the ring with 35 N35\,\text{N} to the east and 35 N35\,\text{N} to the west. The third cord is vertical and attached to a support above the ring. A student lists the following forces for a free-body diagram of the ring: (a) III only (b) I only (c) IV only (d) None — all four forces should be shown
