A barge is pulled by two tugboats. If the resultant of the forces exerted by the tugboats is 5000lb directed along the axis of the barge. Determine the tension in each ropes for α = 45°. Use parallelogram rule and trigonometric solution.

A barge is pulled by two tugboats. If the resultant of the forces exerted by the tugboats is 5000 lbf directed along the axis of the barge, determine the tension in each of the ropes for ̑̑ = 45°. Find a trigonometric solution by applying the Triangle Rule for vector addition. With the magnitude and direction of the resultant known and the directions of the other two sides parallel to the ropes given, apply the Law of Sines to find the rope tensions.
