AND
b) The force that a third person would have to exert on the mule to make the resultant force equal to zero.
*N for units of newtons.

Break each vector into two components. Not having a diagram, I cant help. But I suspect one component should be aimed along whereever the angles are being measured from, and the other angle perpendicular to that.
Then add like components.
