Reference no: EM13706947

Problem: Two men decide to use their cars to pull a truck stuck in mud. They attach ropes and one pulls with a force of 955 N at an angle of 28 with respect to the direction in which the truck is headed, while the other car pulls with a force of 1409 N at an angle of 23 with respect to the same direction.

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

Answer in units of N
