Situde A barge is pulled by two tugboats.
shown in the following figure. One tugboat
pulls on the barge with a force of
4,000 units of force at is above the
live AB ( see the figure and the other
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
full? What is the direction relative to the
line AB?
