A heavy log is dragged across the ground by two horses

A heavy log is dragged across the ground by two horses pulling on ropes (see the figure below). The magnitudes of the tension forces in the direction of the ropes are 53 pounds and 71 pounds. If the angle between the ropes is 26°, find the magnitude of the resultant force. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
