2 cars at an airport are pulling a big airplane with two steel cables. Car 1 pulls with force 51000N at 30° angle. Car 2 pulls with force 68000N at 60° angle, both pull in forward direction. find fnet and direction
Heres an image i made of problem : http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/8035/planek.png
now I tried doing:
Well we need to finding F1x F1y and F2x F2y.
I found Fx already by doing:
F1x=51000cos30
F1x=44167.3N
F2x=68000cos60
F2x=34000N
So Fx= F1x+f2x
Fx=78167.3 N
But I dont know how to find Fy and the direction, but I know I need fy first before I find the direction. I know for Fy you use the sin instead of cos but I dont know how to find Fy.. need some help please.
thanks!

Verified answer
F1y = 51000sin30
F2y = 68000sin60
but here U must designate a + and - direction to the Y-components since they act oppositely.
Once U combine F1y & F2y into Fy then use Pythagorean combination rule on Fy & Fx to find the total force and the angle will be related to Tan Fy/Fx {a sketch will determine specific location of this angle}
