Three horizontal ropes pull on a large stone stuck in the ground, producing the vector forces $\vec{\boldsymbol{A}}, \vec{\boldsymbol{B}},$ and $\vec{\boldsymbol{C}}$ shown in Fig. $\mathrm{P} 1.66$ . Find the magnitude and direction of a fourth force on the stone that will make the vector sum of the four forces zero.
