Two forces are applied to a car in an effort to accelerate it, as shown below. The first force, F1 = 304 N, is applied at an
angle a = 40° to the forward dashed line. The second force, F2 = 466 N, is applied at an angle ß = 8° to the forward dashed line. (a) What is the resultant of these two forces? (b) If the car has a mass of 2900 kg, what acceleration does it have? (Disregard friction.)
