  1. Given u = 〈 negative 4 comma 3 right pointing angle bracket and v = 〈1, negative 2 〉, find w if u middle dot w equals 7  and v middle dot w equals negative 8 .
  2. Physics When an object is not moving, all the forces acting on it must sum to 0. The object is said to be in equilibrium. Two cables of different lengths hold a stoplight over an intersection. The force vectors being applied along the two cables are 〈20, 18〉 and 〈 negative 20 comma 12 right pointing angle bracket . The magnitude of each vector is measured in pounds. A third force vector in this situation is the force due to gravity, and is straight downward. How much does the stoplight weigh?
