Question

5) A loaded barge is being towed by two tugboats, and the magnitude of the resultant force is 8000 pounds directed along the axis of the barge. Find the tension in the two lines if they make a 20° angle with the axis of the barge. (hint: set 8000i = to the sum of the two tugboat vectors, with |F| is the magnitude for each vector)

Step 1

Step 1: Given that the resultant force along the axis of the barge is 8000 pounds and is equal to the sum of the two tugboat vectors, we have: 8000 = 2 * F * cos(20°) Show more…
