Iline 1
magnitude
A barge is pulled by two tugboats
shown in the following figure. One tugboat
4,000 units of force at 15° above the
AB (see the figure and the other
tugboat pulls as the barge with a
force of magnitude 5,000 units of force .
at 12° below the line AB. Thesolve the pulling
forces to their scalar components
and find the components of the
resultant force pulling on the barge e
What is the magnitude of the resultant
pull? What is the direction relative to the
line AB?
