The combined force they exert on the statue.
Step-by-step explanation:
The cosine function is used to calculate the horizontal component of forces exerted by Nancy and Henry, to determine the horizontal component of the force exerted on the statue.
F Ficos01 + F₂cos02120 N x cos60° + 180 N x cos40° 120 N x 0.5+180 N x 0.766 197.88 N
Final Answer:
Hence, the total force on the statue is 197.8 N.
