What is the magnitude of drag force on the ship

Reference no: EM13715810

Problem: A ship is being pulled through a harbor by two tug boats at constant velocity. The lines attached to the two tug boats have the same tension, 200,000N. The lines each make an angle of 28.0 degrees to the direction the ship is being towed.

Part A: What is the magnitude of drag force on the ship?

I need help to determine the magnitude of drag force on the ship.
