On June 24.1948. the former Soviet Union blocked all land and water routes through East Germany to Berlin. A gigantic airlift was organized using American and British planes to bring food, clothing. and other supplies to the more than 2 million people in West Berlin. The cargo capacity was 30,1000 cubic feet for an American plane and 20.000cubic feet for a British plane To break the Soviet blockade, the Western Allies had to maximize cargo capacity but were subject to the following restrictions:
• No more than 44 planes could be used.
• The larger American planes required 16 personnel per flight, double that of the requirement for the British planes, The total number of personnel available could not exceed 512.
• The cost of an American fight was $9000 and the cost of a British flight was $5000. Total weekly costs could not exceed $300,000.
Find the number of American and British planes that were used to maximize cargo capacity

Roman and Shanice come along in a truck to help pull her out. They attach one end of a tow strap to the front of the car and the other end to the truck's trailer hitch, and the truck starts to pull. Meanwhile, Roman and Shanice get behind the car and push. The truck generates a horizontal force of 377 lb on the car. Roman and Shanice are pushing at a slight upward angle and generate a force of 119 lb on the car. These forces can be represented by vectors, as shown in the figure below. The angle between these vectors is 20.2°. Find the resultant force (the vector sum), then give its magnitude and its direction angle from the positive x-axis. 119 lb 20.2° 377 lb a.
