Two Sumo wrestlers are involved in an inelastic collision. The first wrestler, Hakurazan, has a mass of 135 kg and moves forward along the positive x-direction at a speed of 3.5 m/s. The second wrestler, Toyohibiki, has a mass of 173 kg and moves straight toward Hakurazan at a speed of 3.0 m/s. Immediately after the collision, Hakurazan is deflected to his right by 35° (see the figure). In the collision, 10% of the wrestlers' initial total kinetic energy is lost. What is the angle at which Toyohibiki is moving immediately after the collision?
