A speedboat with a mass of 545 kg545 kg (including the driver) is tethered to a fixed buoy by a strong 32.7 m32.7 m cable. The boat's owner loves high speed, but does not really want to go anywhere. So the owner revs up the boat's engine, makes a lot of noise, and runs the boat in circles around the buoy with the cable supplying all the necessary centripetal force. When the tension of the cable is steady at 13700 N,13700 N, with what force is the boat's engine pushing the boat? Different physics textbooks treat drag force somewhat differently and use different formulas. For the present purpose, take the water's drag force on the boat to be (450 kg/m)×?2,(450 kg/m)×v2, where ?v denotes the boat's speed. Ignore any drag force on the cable.

A large truck is stuck off the main road in the mud. Two tow trucks have cables that are connected at the same point on the front of the stranded truck. The tow trucks are attempting to tow the vehicle in an easterly direction (consider this direction to be 0o). The 1st tow truck is exerting a force on the stranded truck that is represented by the vector F1=90i+6j. The 2nd tow truck is exerting a force represented by the vector F2=110i−10j. The forces are measured in pounds. 4a) Identify the vector F that represents the resultant force exerted on the vehicle at the point of attachment of the cables. Give your answer in the form F=ai+bj. 4b) Using the value of the direction angle, determine if the stranded truck will be pulled in a direction of due east (0o). If not, indicate if it will be pulled north of due east or south of due east. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
