Question
### Part B

#### 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 \( \phi = 27.0^\circ \) and \( \theta = 23.0^\circ \), respectively. The tugboat pulls with a force of 4800 lb. 

**Question:** What are the tensions \( T_{BC} \) and \( T_{BD} \) in the rope segments \( BC \) and \( BD \)?

Express your answers numerically in pounds to three significant figures separated by a comma.

#### Diagram:

There is a diagram showing the ship being towed. The important points marked in the diagram are:

- Point \(A\) on the tugboat from where the single tow cable starts.
- Point \(B\) where the cable splits into two segments, \(BC\) and \(BD\).
- Point \(C\) on the ship where rope segment \(BC\) is attached.
- Point \(D\) on the ship where rope segment \(BD\) is attached.

The angle \( \phi = 27.0^\circ \) is between the rope segments \( BC \) and the vertical line.
The angle \( \theta = 23.0^\circ \) is between the rope segments \( BD \) and the vertical line.

A force \( F = 4800 \) lb is exerted by the tugboat.

#### Required Answer Format:

\( T_{BC}, T_{BD} = \) [Tensions Values in pounds]

(Three significant figures are required.)

#### Available Hints:

You can view the available hints by clicking the "View Available Hint(s)" button provided.

### Solution Input Box:
\[ T_{BC}, T_{BD} = \]

(Note: The reader should calculate the exact numeric values and enter them in the text box corresponding to this prompt.)
