CAPE Physics Unit 1 · 2002 · Paper 2 · Question 4(b)(ii)

Two tugs, P and Q, tow a ship along direction BO at constant speed. Tug P exerts a force of 35 kN at an angle of 20° to BO. Tug Q pulls with a force of 20 kN at an angle θ to BO. The resultant force acts along BO.

Calculate a value of this resultant force.
