On her way to visit Grandmother, Red Riding Hood sat down to rest and placed her 1.20-kg basket of goodies beside her. A wolf came along, spotted the basket, and began to pull on the handle with a force of 6.40 N at an angle of 25° with respect to vertical. Red was not going to let go easily, so she pulled on the handle with a force of 13.5 N. If the net force on the basket is straight up, at what angle was Red Riding Hood pulling from the vertical?
The whole question did not paste in on my last attempt.

I was given the WRONG answer this morning!
The force that Red applied was 13.5N NOT 12.2 N! Use 13.5 N!
I use this service primarily to check my work.
If the "experts" are using the wrong values, I question if they will use the right mathematical procedures if I really have a challenge!
Person A, is tired pulling Person B and
his wagon . So, Person B lets Person A to sit on his wagon and takes Person’s A place in crossing a 25m-long bridge. Starting from rest,
Person B pulls Person A and the sleigh with a 130-N force 30° above
the horizontal against the ground's frictional force of 95N.
1. Draw an appropriate free body diagram to represent all the
forces acting on Person A and the wagon. (Person A and the
Wagon are considered as a single object/system.)
What is the acceleration of Person A and the wagon if their
combined mass is 400kg?
How much work is done by Person B in crossing the bridge?
What is the total work done by all the forces on Person A and
the wagon over the distance of 25 m?
What is the change in the kinetic energy of Person A and the
Wagon after crossing the bridge?
