Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 2.2×106 N, one an angle 19 west of north and the other an angle 19 east of north, as they pull the tanker a distance 0.90 km toward the north. O What is the total work they do on the supertanker? Express your answer using two significant figures.
