Two horses are pulling a box in two different directions as shown in the below image. The image shows one 30.0 N force due north
and one 30.0 N force due east.
What is the magnitude of the force needed to stop the horses and bring the box into equilibrium? Describe your calculations. Where would you locate the rope to apply the force?

The wavelength of the note is 
. Since the speed of the wave is the speed of sound, 
, the frequency of the note is
Then, we know that the frequency of a vibrating string is related to the tension T of the string and its length L by
where
is the linear mass density of our string.
Using the value of the tension, T=160 N, and the frequency we just found, we can calculate the length of the string, L:

Answer:
Toward the centre of the circular path
Explanation:
The can is moved in a circular path: this means that it is moving by circular motion (uniform circular motion if its tangential speed is constant).
In order to keep a circular motion, an object must have a force that pushes it towards the centre of the circular trajectory: this force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by
where m is the mass of the object, v its tangential speed, r the radius of the trajectory. This force always points towards the centre of the circular path.
