Given information
It is given that two snowcats in Antarctica are towing a housing the force exerted by the snowcat A is 
Also the net force due to A and B is in the north direction.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
This problem can be analysed using a free body diagram.
Given that the resultant force due to A and B is in the north direction.
So we can say that the forces along the negative X-direction balances the force along the positive X-direction.
ie; 
Substituting the value of 
we get;
