Answer:
117.6°
Explanation:
The vertical component of a force directed at some angle α from the vertical is ...
F·cos(α)
We want the vertical components of the wolf's force (Fw) and Red's force (Fr) to total zero. So for some angle from vertical α, Red's force will satisfy ...
Fw·cos(25°) + Fr·cos(α) = 0
cos(α) = -Fw/Fr·cos(25°) ≈ -(6.4 N)/(12.5 N)·0.906308 ≈ -0.464030
α ≈ arccos(-0.464030) ≈ 117.6°
Red was pulling at an angle of about 117.6° from the vertical.

That's about 27.6° below the horizontal.
Answer:
Reflective
Explanation:
The radiation pressure of the wave that totally absorbed is given by;
and While the radiation pressure of the wave totally reflected is given by;
Now compare the two-equation you can clearly see that the pressure due to reflection is larger than absorption therefore the sail should be reflective.
The maximum force of static friction is the product of normal force (P) and the coefficient of static friction (c). In a flat surface, normal force is equal to the weight (W) of the body.
P = W = mass x acceleration due to gravity
P = (0.3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 2.94 kg m/s² = 2.94 N
Solving for the static friction force (F),
F = P x c
F = (2.94 N) x 0.6 = 1.794 N
Therefore, the maximum force of static friction is 1.794 N.
