Question

The two tug boats pull the oil rig to travel in the direction shown in calm water. (See left directed arrow). Tug A pulls with a force of 30 kN directed at the angle alpha of 47 deg and Tug B pulls at the angle beta of 36 deg. Determine the pull force of Tug B so the oil rig travels in the direction of the x axis. Determine the force of Tug B in kN.

The oil rig is subjected to the towing forces described in P5 and travels in the direction shown at a constant velocity of 0.9 km/hr when tugs. Determine the 'drag' force exerted by the water on the oil rig in kN.")
