My friend ask help from me to pull on a heavy box, but he pulls twice as hard as me. He is pulling with a direction of 65.0° North of West, and the resultant of both our pulls is 460.0 N due North. Use vector components and triangle method to find the magnitude of each of our pulls and the direction of the smaller pull.
