Two crewmen pull a raft through a lock, as shown in the figure below.
One crewman pulls with a force of F1 = 129 N at an angle of U1 = 34.7° relative to the forward direction of the raft. The second crewman, on the opposite side of the lock, pulls at an angle of & 2 = 46.6°. With what force should the second
crewman pull, so that the net force of the two crewmen is in the forward direction?
