Force is directed at an angle west of due north

Reference no: EM13649211

As a sailboat sails 53.0 m due north, a breeze exerts a constant force F₁ on the boat's sails. This force is directed at an angle west of due north. A force F₂ of the same magnitude directed due north would do the same amount of work on the sailboat over a distance of just 36.5 m. What is the angle between the direction of the forceF1 and due north?
