Question
Tom enlists the help of his friend John to move his car. They apply forces to the car as shown in the diagram. Here F, = 444 N and F, = 343 N
and friction is negligible. In the diagram below, the mass of the car = 3500 kg, e, = -25° and e, = 12°. (Assume the car faces the positive
x-axis before the forces are applied.)
