A boat is tied to a dock at two points using ropes as shown in Fig. 9.85. The boat exerts a force of 325 N at an angle of 25° from the line perpendicular to the dock. Make a free-body diagram, and then find the tensions T_p and T_s in the ropes perpendicular to and slanted from the dock, respectively.
