The larger tug pulls in one direction with force of 60N The smaller tug pulls in another direction with - force of 40N Asa result, the boat moves forward with combined force of 90 N in a different direction. DRAWING IN THE FORCES To make the parallel logram you first draw in lines to represent the forces that you know about and b) The length and direction the lines represent the size and direction ofthe forces. JOINING UP THE LINES You complete the parallelogram by adding two lines parallel those already drawn and Finally, you draw diagonal line from the object being acted upon, at one corner of ...
