I realized that part of the question didn't show up. I need to find the Fw, the Force of the wind. I can add the two forces but I don't know how to separate out Fw. so Fa=Force auxiliary engine Fax=22.1cos13=34.25 Fay=33.1sin13=7.45 Fwc=Force of watercurrent and wind Fwcx=-29.9cos13=-29.1...

Homework Statement 1. Homework Statement A 373-kg boat is sailing 13.0 ° north of east at a speed of 2.00 m/s. 32.0 s later, it is sailing 33.0 ° north of east at a speed of 3.90 m/s. During this time, three forces act on the boat: a 33.1-N force directed 13.0 ° north of east (due to an...

Thanks! That was helpful!

Homework Statement A jetliner is moving at a speed of 233 m/s. The vertical component of the plane's velocity is 66.9 m/s. Determine the magnitude of the horizontal component of the plane's velocity. The Attempt at a Solution 233m/s^2=66m/s^2+x^2=233.189135m/s 66m/s cos(90)=0 I am...
