Two workers are assembling the centre pole of a large tent. They use separate tensioned ropes to stabilise the pole, as shown in Figure P2. The workers each apply a force along their ropes, F₁ and F₂, respectively, acting at the angles shown in the figure. Assume that the pole is vertical and that both forces act at the same point (A). 

For F₁ = 500 N and F₂ = 600 N, determine the magnitude of the resultant force F_R acting on the pole due to the two ropes. 

Select the correct answer.
