Two horses are pulling a barge with mass
2.00 x 103 kg along a canal, as shown in
figure. The cable connected to the first
horse makes an angle of 30.0o with respect
to the direction of the canal; while the cable
connected to the second horse make an
angle of 45.0o. Find the magnitude and
direction of acceleration of the barge, starting at rest, if each horse exerts a force of
magnitude 6.00 x 102 N on the barge..
