Two men decide to use their cars to pull a truck stuck in mud. They attach ropes, and one pulls with a force of 515 N at an angle of 31° with respect to the direction in which the truck is headed. The other car pulls with a force of 926 N at an angle of 25° with respect to the same direction.

What is the net forward force exerted on the truck in the direction it is headed?

Answer (2)

Is 1280.7N because u have 926(515) =441.44 n 839.24n.

The net forward force =( 515 cos 31deg ) +( 926 cos 25 deg ) = 441.44N + 839.24 N = 1280.7N in truck direction
