Explain, why is it difficult for a fireman to hold a hose, which ejects large amounts of water at a high velocity.
According to the third law of motion, when we push on an object, the object pushes back on us with an equal and opposite force. If the object is a massive truck parked along the roadside, it will probably not move. A student justifies this by answering that the two opposite and equal forces cancel each other. Comment on this logic and explain why the truck does not move.

Consider a frame that is made up of two thin massless rods AB and AC as shown in the figure. A vertical force `vec"P"` of magnitude 100 N is applied at point A of the frame.
Suppose the force is `vec"P"` resolved parallel to the arms AB and AC of the frame.
The magnitude of the resolved component along the arm AC is xN.
The value of x, to the nearest integer, is ______.
