The resultant force will be 6000sqrt3N60003N.

Explanation:

Suppose, vec (AB)AB and vec (AC )ACare the two boats and vec( AD)AD is the direction of ship.
We know the formula of resultant is

AD=sqrt(AC^2+CD^2+2×AB×CD×cos 60AD=AC2+CD2+2×AB×CD×cos60

AD=sqrt(2(6000)^2+2×6000×6000×(1/2)AD=2(6000)2+2×6000×6000×(12)

AD=sqrt(3×6000^2)AD=3×60002

AD=6000sqrt3AD=60003 final answer
