Two ants at a picnic find a small piece of cake. Each picks up the cake and tries to carry it

home. The first ant's home is due west and he pulls with a force of 10 N. The second ant's
home is due south and he pulls with a force of 10 N. In what direction is the cake heading?
If the cake can withstand a force of 13.5 N, what do you predict will happen?

Answer:

The ants would just carry it and fight for the way home, so if the other ant loses the cake would just be on that same spot till the ants get more ants from their home.
