two tractors pull against a 1000 kg log. if the angle of the tractors chains in relation to each other is 18 degrees and each tractor pulls with a force of 800N what forces will they be able to exert

1 answer

They will pull together with a combined force of 800*cos9*2 = 1580 N

Each chain is inclined 9 degrees to the direction of the resultant force.

The log's weight is not needed.
