Answer

$F_{net}=(285N)i^{\wedge}-(115N)j^{\wedge}$

Work Step by Step

The net force on Tarzan is the sum of the two forces tension in the vine and the weight of the Tarzan: $F_{net}=T+W$ We plugin the known values to obtain: $F_{net}=(285N)i^{\wedge}+(705N)j^{\wedge}-(820N)j^{\wedge}$ (the negative sign shows that weight is directed downward) $F_{net}=(285N)i^{\wedge}-(115N)j^{\wedge}$
