 3. A hurricane, in general, cannot move on its on accord.

3. A hurricane, in general, cannot move on its on accord. Instead, it relies upon the "steering winds" provided by nearby high pressure systems. In the following diagram, a steering wind from the northeast provides a force of Fi = 2706.5 N at an angle of 01 = 81.5 as shown. A second high pressure system comes from the southeast and pushes on the hurricane with a force of F2 = 1551.15 N at an angle of 02 = 35.0. (Note, steering winds push the hurricane! The force directions in the diagram are accurate!) Find (a) The x- and y-components of force Fi (b) The x- and y-components of force F2 (c) the magnitude of the total net force Fnet (d) the direction of the net force, 0
