Question

Shown below are three boats being pulled along the x-axis on a frictionless surface via ropes. If the magnitude of the pull force applied is 480 N, calculate the tension in each rope.

Accepted Answer

T_{A} = 400.0 N and T_{B} = 240.0 N

Answer

T_{A} = 300.0 N and T_{B} = 220.0 N

Answer

T_{A} = 340.0 N and T_{B} = 230.0 N

Answer

T_{A} = 360.0 N and T_{B} = 260.0 N
