Question:
Two tugboats are pulling a large tanker through Burrard Inlet. The first Tugboat pulls with a force, F1 = 20.5 kN at an angle of 10.0 degrees East of North. The second tugboat pulls with a force, F2 = 15.7 kN at an angle of 20 degrees West of North. Viscous drag forces (friction) with the water produces a force of 10.7 kN, straight South. Determine the total force, in kiloNewtons, on the Tanker. Note a that kN = kiloNewton = 103 N.
The magnitude of the net force on the tanker (in kN) is kN
The direction (with 0 degrees being straight North, positive angles being East of North and negative angles being West of North) of the net force on the tanker is degrees
