Two tugboats are pulling a large tanker through Burrard Inlet. The first Tugboat pulls with a force, F 1 = 20.5 kN at an angle

Two tugboats are pulling a large tanker through Burrard Inlet.  The first Tugboat pulls with a force, F1 =  20.5  kN at an angle of 10.0 degrees East of North.  The second tugboat pulls with a force, F2 = 15.7 kN at an angle of 20 degrees West of North.  Viscous drag forces (friction) with the water produces a force  of 10.7 kN, straight South.  Determine the total force, in kiloNewtons, on the Tanker.  Note a that  kN = kiloNewton = 103 N.

The magnitude of the net force on the tanker (in kN) is  kN

The direction (with 0 degrees being straight North, positive angles being East of North and negative angles being West of North) of the net force on the tanker is  degrees
