Step 1
We have a towing pendant AB being pulled by a tugboat with a force of 50 kN. The pendant is connected to two bridles, BC and BD, and we need to find the force in each of these bridles. The system is in equilibrium since the ship is moving with constant velocity, Show more…

A ship is to be pulled with a force of resultant pull of 50 kN. One of the tug boats is pulling with a force of 30 kN. What will be the pull force of the second boat if the angle between the two forces is 60°?

Two people are pulling a boat through the water as in Figwre $\mathrm{P} 4.24$. Each exerts a force of $600 \mathrm{~N}$ directed at a $30.0^{\circ}$ angle relative to the forward motion of the boat. If the boat moves with constant velocity, find the resistive force $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{F}}$ exerted by the water on the boat.
