Answer

$T=(285N)i^{\wedge}+(705N)j^{\wedge}$

Work Step by Step

As given, the rope makes $22^{\circ}$ with vertical thus it makes $68^{\circ}$ with horizontal. The force on Tarzan from the vine is because of tension $T$ which can be calculated as $T=Tcos{\theta}+Tsin{\theta}$ We plugin the known values to obtain: $T=760cos68^{\circ}i^{\wedge}+760sin68^{\circ}j^{\wedge}$ $T=(285N)i^{\wedge}+(705N)j^{\wedge}$
