A tugboat with a displacement of 50 tonnes and resistance of 750 kN is towing a 75-tonne barge with resistance of 1000 kN. The tugboat has a propeller generates thrust of T to move it forward, while the barge is non-propelled. Determine the thrust and the force exerted by the rope on the tugboat, given that it takes 35 seconds for the tugboat to uniformly increase its speed to 13.5 knots.

Question

A tugboat with a displacement of 50 tonnes and resistance of 750 kN is towing a 75-tonne barge
with resistance of 1000 kN. The tugboat has a propeller generates thrust of T to move it forward,
while the barge is non-propelled. Determine the thrust and the force exerted by the rope on the
tugboat, given that it takes 35 seconds for the tugboat to uniformly increase its speed to 13.5
knots.
