Sample Problem 2.2
SOLUTION: Find a graphical solution by applying the Parallelogram Rule for vector addition. The parallelogram has sides in the directions of the two ropes and a diagonal in the direction of the barge axis and length proportional to 5000 lbf. A barge is pulled by two tugboats. Find a trigonometric solution by applying If the resultant of the forces the Triangle Rule for vector addition. With exerted by the tugboats is 5000 lbf the magnitude and direction of the resultant directed along the axis of the known and the directions of the other two barge, determine sides parallel to the ropes given, apply the Law of Sines to find the rope tensions. a) the tension in each of the ropes for a = 45o, b) the value of a for which the tension in rope 2 is a minimum.

The angle for minimum tension in rope 2 is determined by applying the Triangle Rule and observing the effect of variations in a.
