    This document describes how to find the resultant force of two tugboats pulling on a barge. Tugboat P applies a force of 76 kN at a 16 m distance from the barge. Tugboat Q applies a force of 52 kN at a 24 m distance. The problem is to determine the single resultant force from combining the individual forces P and Q.
