Question

On her way to visit Grandmother, Red Riding Hood sat down to rest and placed her 1.20-kg basket of goodies beside her. A wolf came along, spotted the basket, and began to pull on the handle with a force of 6.40 N at an angle of 25° with respect to vertical. Red was not going to let go easily, so she pulled on the handle with a force of 12.1 N. If the net force on the basket is straight up, at what angle was Red Riding Hood pulling from the vertical?

Answer 1

sin(θ) * 12.1 N = sin(25º) * 6.40 N
