Answer:
- Resolve the tension force into horizontal and vertical components:
- Horizontal component: 300N * cos(30°) = 300N * 0.866 ≈ 259.8N
- Vertical component: 300N * sin(30°) = 300N * 0.5 = 150N
- Calculate the total horizontal force: Total Horizontal Force = Tension (horizontal component) + Man's force = 259.8N + 50N = 309.8N
- Conclusion: The resultant force acting on the boat is 309.8N acting horizontally.
