A 1000-kg barge is being towed by means of two horizontal cables. One cable is pulling with a force of 80.0 N in a direction 30.0º west of north. The second cable pulls in a direction 20.0º east of north. The magnitude of its pulling force should be 117 N, so that the barge will accelerate northward. true or false?
