A car is being pulled out of the mud by two forces that are applied by the two ropes shown in the drawing. The dashed line in the drawing bisects the 30.0° angle. The magnitude of the force applied by each rope is 2900 new tons. Arrange the force vectors tail to head and use the graphical technique to answer the following questions.
(a) How much force would a single rope need to apply to accomplish the same effect as the two forces added together?
(b) How would the single rope be directed relative to the dashedline?
