A loaded barge is being towed by two tugboats, and the magnitude of the resultan

Question

A loaded barge is being towed by two tugboats, and the magnitude of the resultant is 2400 pounds directed along the axis of the barge (see figure). Find the tension in the tow lines when they each make an 180 angle with the axis of the barge. (Round your answers to one decimal place.) tension in tow line from tugboat A lb tension in tow line from tugboat B lb 180 18° Read It Watch It Master It Talk to a Tuto 1 points LarTrig9 3.3.095. My Notes Ask Your Teacher A force of F pounds is required to pull an object weighing W pounds up a ramp inclined at 8 degrees from the horizontal. Find Fif W- 170 pounds and e 10.

Explanation / Answer

solution :- Force F = W*sin(theta)

here W=170 pounds and theta = 10 degree

so plugging the values we get

F = 170 sin(10)

so F = 29.5 lb

1) let T = tension in each line Then

2T cos(18) = 2400 that gives us T = 2400/2 cos(18)

that is T = 1200/ cos(18) =1261.75 = 1261.8
