A toy boat floating in still water is pulled by two strings. One string produces a force of 5N towards the east, and the other produces a force of 12N towards the north.
a. (a) Choose a convenient scale and draw the two forces starting from the same point to represent their magnitudes and directions accurately.
b. (b) By measuring your diagram, find the magnitude and direction of the resultant force acting on the boat.
c. (c) State whether the boat is under balanced or unbalanced forces. Give a reason for your answer.
