Two horses are pulling a barge with mass 2x10 kg along a canal, as shown in Figure. The cable connected to the first horse makes an angle of 01 = 30° with respect to the direction of the canal, while the cable connected to the second horse makes an angle of 61= -45°.Find the initial acceleration of the barge, starting at rest, if each horse exerts a force of magnitude 6 ×102 N on the barge (39). Ignore forces of resistance on the barge.
