What is the total work done by the two tugboats on the supertanker??

Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 1.20×106 N , one at an angle 19.0 ? west of north, and the other at an angle 19.0 ? east of north, as they pull the tanker a distance 0.850 km toward the north.

1) Two movers use ropes to pull a heavy box horizontally across a level floor. One pulls with a force of 175.0 N at 20.0 degrees North of East, while the other pulls with 200.0 N at 10.0 degrees West of North. The box has a mass of 125.0 kg, and has coefficients of friction (with the floor) static= 0.350 kinetic= 0.220. a) In what direction is the friction force acting? b) The box is initially stationary. What is its...
