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 
F1 = 437 N
 and 
F2 = 365 N
 and friction is negligible. In the diagram below, the mass of the car = 3500 kg, θ1 = −25° and θ2 = 12°. (Assume the car faces the positive x-axis before the forces are applied.)
 
(a) Find the resultant force (in N) exerted on the car.
-magnitude: N
- direction: (counterclockwise from the +x-axis) °
 
(b) What is the acceleration (in m/s2) of the car?
- magnitude: m/s2
- direction: (counterclockwise from the +x-axis)
