Krystal heard the meowing and came to help him down. She decided this was a good opportunity to calculate the tension force Charlie exerted on the curtains. She placed him on a scale and used his mass to calculate the tension force on the curtains. If the cat caused 37N of tension on the curtain, what is Charlie's mass?arrow_forward

In the figure below, a force ₁ of magnitude 6.80 units acts on a box at the origin in a direction 0 = 29.0° above the positive x-axis. A second force F2 of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the box in the direction of the positive y-axis.
