Suppose an empty flatbed railroad car sits on a track as shown below, with a person pulling on a rope with a force of 310 Newton
s in a direction of θ=25∘. Since the railroad car can't move in the direction that the person is pulling, not all of the force he is exerting works to move the car down the track. How much force is the person exerting toward the right (the force that would go towards trying to move the car)? ____Newtons The first person wasn't able to move the railroad car. Suppose a second rope is attached as shown below, and someone pulls on the rope in the direction β=18∘ south of east. If it takes 620 N to get the railroad car moving (even if only slightly), how much force must the second person exert in the given direction to get the railroad car to move? _____ Newtons

see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
1) If angle 1 and angle 2 are complementary angles
then
m∠1+m∠2= ------> equation A
2) If angle 1 and angle 2 are congruent angles
then
m∠1=m∠2 ------> equation B
Substitute equation B in equation A
m∠1+(m∠1)=
2m∠1=
m∠1=
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
