1. A barge is being towed by 3 tug boats. The geometry of the problem is as shown in the diagram. Determine the resultant force experienced by the barge and the direction that the barge is moving, relative to the vertical axis. 1₂ 2. Find the tensions in Cables 1 and 2 to keep the 100-kg block from moving. Provide both the magnitudes and the components of the tensions. Note: While it is common knowledge but just to make sure that everyone is aware, the weight of the block is W = mg F₁ =20,000lb 40° 55° Cable 1 F=25,000 lb MARED 159 P 100 kg 35⁰ F₁ =18,000/b. 30% Cable 2 1.
