TUG A(51 kN)
LINER FORWARD DIRECTION
60
TG B (68 kN)
Two tugs are pulling a large ocean liner out to sea on ropes. Tug A exerts a force o
51 kN at an angle of 30 to the forward direction and tug B exerts a force of 68 kN at
angle of 60.
The resultant force on
the liner due to the tugs
B. 92 kN
is about:
119kN D. 123 kN
A. 85 kN
Due to the tugs puling the liner in the last question (Q 25) the liner will start to move
at an angle to the fonward direction of about
