1.A tugboat tows a ship at a constant velocity. The tow harness consists of a single tow cable attached to the tugboat at point A that splits at point B and attaches to the ship at points C and D. The two rope segments BC and BD angle away from the center of the ship at angles of = 27.0 and = 21.0, respectively. The tugboat pulls with a force of 4700 . What are the tensions and in the rope segments BC and BD?

2.Water under a gage pressure of 350kPa flows with a velocity of 5 m/s through a right-angled bend that has a uniform diameter of 250 mm. The bend lies in a horizontal plane, and water enters from the west and leaves toward the north. Assuming no drop in pressure, what is the magnitude and direction of the resultant force acting on the bend?
