A sailboat headed due north has its sail inclined in the direction N 20 deg E. The wind is bloing into the sail in the direction S 45 deg W with a force of Magnitude F. Show that the effective force of the wind on the sail is F sin 25 deg. You can do this by finding the components of the force ofthe wind that are parallel to the sail and perpendicular to the sail. Only the perpendicular component pushes against the sail.
