Explanation / Answer

traction force exerted to the right on the leg is due to inclined rope as well as horizontal rope

so,

force due to inclined rope = T * cos(theta)

force due to inclined rope = 53.41 * cos(71.5)

force due to inclined rope = 16.95 N

force due to horizontal rope = T

force due to horizontal rope = 53.41 N

so,

traction exerted to the right = 16.95 + 53.41

traction exerted to the right = 70.36 N
