A small boat is attached to the harbour wall by a line at the prow (front) and stern (rear). The front rope makes an angle A=7 degrees to the harbour wall. The tension in the prow rope is T=144 kN. If the boat is being held against the harbour wall with a normal reaction of N=124 kN. What is the magnitude of the tension (in kN) in the rope attached to the stern (to two decimal places)?

Question

A small boat is attached to the harbour wall by a line at the prow (front) and stern (rear).  The front rope makes an angle A=7 degrees to the harbour wall.  The tension in the prow rope is T=144 kN.  If the boat is being held against the harbour wall with a normal reaction of N=124 kN.  What is the magnitude of the tension (in kN) in the rope attached to the stern (to two decimal places)?

sumeet · Answer

that is dependent on angle of rear rope. some data should be given for this angle.
