Physics: Please help with the following question: Two snowcats in Antarctica are towing a housing unit (m=2000 kg) to a new location as shown in the diagram below. The housing unit is moving purely in the y-direction. Magnitude of the force exerted by snowcat 1, F1 is 45,000 N. You are also given that theta 1= 30 degrees and theta 2=40 degrees.
a.) What is the magnitude of F2, the force exerted by the second snowcat on the housing unit?
b.) What is the acceleration of the unit in the y-direction? Hint: Since you are given that the unit is moving purely in the y-direction, what is the acceleration in x?
