Homework Statement
Two horses pull horizontally on ropes attached to a tree stump. Each horse pulls with a force of magnitude F. If the resultant force (vector R) has the magnitude R = 1.51 F, what is the angle (in degrees) between the two ropes?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Ry= 0+cos
Rx= 1+ sin
R= 1.51
sin=cos/1.54
tan= 1/1.54
angle= 33 degrees
33 * 2 = total angle for both of 66 degrees
