Two tugboats are towing a large ship into port, as shown in the figure. The larger tug exerts a force of 4000 pounds on its cable, and the smaller tug exerts a force of 3200 pounds on its cable. If the ship is to travel on a straight line $l,$ approximate the angle $\theta$ that the larger tug must make with $l$

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.

The magnitude and direction exerted by two tugboats towing a ship are 1610 kilograms, $\mathrm{N} 35^{\circ} \mathrm{W},$ and 1250 kilograms, $\mathrm{S55}^{\circ} \mathrm{W},$ respectively. Find the magnitude, to the nearest kilogram, and the direction angle, to the nearest tenth of a degree, of the resultant force.
