I would really appreciate some help with this problem.
1. A student's car stalls right in front of a speed bump while she is on her way to physics class. To pull it over the bump, she ties a cable to her bumper and to a nearby tree, and pulls with a force, F, of 73.0 lbs (325 N) at the midpoint in a perpendicular direction.
If θ is 11.0°, what is the size of the force pulling the car in lbs?
2. I know it must have something to do with finding the tension in the cable I just have no idea how so any help or hint would again be greatly appreciated.3. Maybe it has to do with Newton's second law of motion "F=ma" but the problem doesn't give me mass. I honestly have no idea what to do here.
