The discussion centers on determining the minimum length of rope AC in a triangle configuration, ensuring that the tension in either AB or AC does not exceed 4000N, given that the tension in the tow rope is 3000N. Participants utilize Newton's second law and vector resolution to derive equations for the forces acting on the triangle. The final calculations reveal that the angle theta is approximately 16.1 degrees, which is critical for calculating the required length of AC.

gozita73 said:cool thanks so much...
theta turns out to be around 16.1 degrees
doing the rest should be no problem for me
thanks again
