Question

Monkey Joe and Money Jane are pulling a boat through water. Each exerts a force of 600N directed at a 30 angle relative to the forward motion of the boat. If the boat moves with constant velocity, find the resistive force Fr, exerted in the boat by the water.

Answer 1

1039 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The 'x' components of their pulling forces = the force of friction:

2 x 600 cos 30 = 1039 N
