"Your SUV is stuck in a rut and it is too heavy for you too lift. You have strong rope and lots of trees. Use vector physics to propose a rescue solution."

I don't know what I should do. I know how to do vectors but not how to get the SUV out. help.
 
Tie the SUV to a faraway tree up the road and apply your force to the middle of the rope, accross the road. The resulting tension of the rope will be much greater that your applied force and could be just enough to pull the SUV out.

....SUV...........rope...............
