**Title: Finding Tensions in Tow Cables of a Tugboat****Problem Statement:**A tugboat tows a ship at a constant velocity. The tow harness consists of a single tow cable attached to the tugboat at point $A$ that splits at point $B$ and attaches to the ship at points $C$ and $D$. The two rope segments $BC$ and $BD$ angle away from the center of the ship at angles of $\phi = 28.0^\circ$ and $\theta = 21.0^\circ$, respectively. The tugboat pulls with a force of 1500 lb.**Question:** What are the tensions $T_{BC}$ and $T_{BD}$ in the rope segments $BC$ and $BD$?**Instructions for Students:**Express your answers numerically in pounds to three significant figures separated by a comma.**Diagram Explanation:**- The diagram depicts a ship being towed by a tugboat.- Point A is where the tow cable attaches to the tugboat.- The tow cable splits at point B.- The segments $BC$ and $BD$ attach the ship at points $C$ and $D$.- The angle $\phi = 28.0^\circ$ is between segment $BC$ and the direction toward the tugboat.- The angle $\theta = 21.0^\circ$ is between segment $BD$ and the direction toward the tugboat.- There is a graphical interface provided for entering the calculated tensions $T_{BC}$ and $T_{BD}$ which must be entered in pounds.**Interactive Component:**Students can use the available hints and dedicated input box to calculate and input the tensions in the respective rope segments. The tensions should be entered in the format:\[T_{BC}, T_{BD} = \_\_\_ \text{ lb}, \_\_\_ \text{ lb}\]**Hints:**1. Analyze the force components in both horizontal and vertical directions.2. Use trigonometry to resolve the forces.3. Apply equilibrium conditions for both vertical and horizontal forces to find $T_{BC}$ and $T_{BD}$.This problem helps students practice their knowledge of statics and the resolution of forces, enhancing their understanding of force components in mechanical systems.

A tugboat tows a ship at a constant velocity. The tow harness consists of a single tow cable attached to the tugboat at point A that splits at point B and attaches to the ship at points Cand D. The two rope segments BC and BD angle away from the D center of the ship at angles of ø = 28.0° and 0 = 21.0°, respectively. The tugboat pulls with a force of 1500 lb. What are the tensions TBc and Tpp in the rope segments BC and BD? Express your answers numerically in pounds to three significant figures separated by a comma. > View Available Hint(s)
