Two horses are pulling a barge with a mass 4000 kg along a canal, as shown in Figure 4.8 in the book, page 86. The cable connected to the first horse makes an angle of 01= 25.0° with respect to the direction of the canal, while the cable connected to the second horse makes an angle of 02=45.0°. Find the initial acceleration of the barge, starting at rest, if each horse exerts a force of magnitude 650 N on the barge. Ignore forces of resistance on the barge.
