Combined weight of the boatswain chair and the sailor is 90

Reference no: EM13533357

A sailor is being rescued using a boatswain's chair that issuspended from a pulley that can roll freely on the support cableACB amd is pulled at a constant speed by cablle CD. Knowing thatα=30degrees and β=10 degrees and that combined weight ofthe boatswain's chair and the sailor is 900N, determine the tension

(a) in the support cable ACB,

(b) in the traction cable CD.
