**Problem Context: Snowcat Towing in Antarctica**

Two snowcats in Antarctica are towing a housing unit to a new location, as illustrated in Figure 1. The sum of the forces \( \mathbf{F_A} \) and \( \mathbf{F_B} \) exerted on the unit by the horizontal cables is parallel to the line \( L \), with \( F_A = 4800 \, \text{N} \).

**Figure Explanation:**
- The diagram shows two snowcats, each connected to a housing unit by cables.
- The forces \( \mathbf{F_A} \) and \( \mathbf{F_B} \) are acting at angles to the line \( L \).
- \( \mathbf{F_A} \) is exerted at an angle of 48°, while \( \mathbf{F_B} \) is exerted at an angle of 32°.

**Problem Part B:**

Determine the magnitude of \( \mathbf{F_A} + \mathbf{F_B} \).

- **Expression Input:** 
  - Provide your answer using two significant figures.
  - Input box provided for the force calculation, expressed in Newtons (N).

**Problem 4.35**

Two snowcats in Antarctica are towing a housing unit to a new location, as shown in Figure 1. The sum of the forces \( \vec{F}_A \) and \( \vec{F}_B \) exerted on the unit by the horizontal cables is parallel to the line \( L \), and \( F_A = 4800 \, \text{N} \).

**Figure Description:**
The diagram shows two snowcats towing a unit. Two forces, \( \vec{F}_A \) and \( \vec{F}_B \), are depicted with force vectors making angles with the line \( L \). Force \( \vec{F}_A \) is at an angle of \( 48^\circ \) from the line, and force \( \vec{F}_B \) is at an angle of \( 32^\circ \).

**Part A**

*Determine* \( F_B \).

*Express your answer using two significant figures.*

\[ F_B = \, \_\_\_ \, \text{N} \]
