Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 2.10×106 N, one at an angle 13.0 degrees west of north, and the other at an angle 13.0 degrees east of north, as they pull the tanker a distance 0.670 km toward the north. What is the total work done by the two tugboats on the supertanker?
