Question 1154887
A large ship has run aground and two tugboats are going to pull it free. One tugboat pulls with a heading of 161 degrees and 2900lbs of force. The second tugboat pulls with a heading of 192 degrees and a force of 3000 lbs. What is the compass heading and the magnitude of the resultant force?
--------------
u = 161 degrees and 2900 lbs
v = 192 degrees and a force of 3000 lbs
----
Use the Origin as the point of attachment.
The angle between the vectors is 31 degrees.
----
"Copy" u at the end of v, and v at the end of u.
Find the long diagonal of the parallelogram ---> resultant force.
---
With 3 sides of the triangles known, find the angles.
