Solved: As a sailboat sails 52 m due north, a breeze

Chapter 6, Problem 6.78

(choose chapter or problem)

As a sailboat sails 52 m due north, a breeze exerts a constant force 1 on the boats sails. This force is directed at an angle west of due north. A force 2 of the same magnitude directed due north would do the same amount of work on the sailboat over a distance of just 47 m. What is the angle between the direction of the force 1 and due north?
