| style="height:100px; width:200px; text-align:left;"|One of the [[force]]s is redrawn as the hypotenuse of a [[Right Angle Triangle|right angle triangle]] with [[height]] in the [[y-axis]] and [[base]] in the [[x-axis]].

<math>F_y=5000\sin20</math>
The [[force]] from the top tug boat is +1710N to the [[North]] and the force from the bottom tug boat is -1710N to the [[North]] so the total [[force]] [[North]] is zero.
The total [[force]] East can be calculated by finding the [[base]] of each [[triangle]].
