The Russell Traction System To immobilize a fractured femur (the thigh bone), doctors often utilize the Russell traction system illustrated in the figure. Notice that one force is applied directly to the knee, F₁.while two other forces, F₂ and F3 are applied to the foot. The latter two forces combine to give a force F₂ +F3 that is transmitted through the lower leg to the knee. The result is that the knee experiences the total force Ftotal = F₁+F₂+F3. The goal of this traction system is to have P total directly in line with the fractured femur, at an angle of 20.0 above the horizontal.(Figure 1) Find the angle required to produce this alignment of total (Assume the pulleys are ideal.)

i'm doing chapter 4 problem 12p in the college physics 11th edition text book. On bartleby it says that "total force along the x axis is fx= f1sin30degrees - f2sin10degrees" my question is that wouldnt it be the cosine since it is the x axis and not sin?? i put a image below
A new Dutchman Day activity allows people to leap from the top of the Humanities building onto a giant pillow on the ground below. The distance between the top of the Humanities building and the top of the pillow is 9.34 m. The giant pillow compresses 0.781 m as it brings a 60.7-kg person to rest. Find the magnitude of the force (in N) exerted by the giant pillow on the person. You may assume this force is constant during the time that the person is in contact with the pillow.
