Determine the horizontal and vertical forces which the


A small remotely-controlled underwater robotic vehicle and its tether are positioned as shown. The neutrally buoyant vehicle has independent thrusters for horizontal and vertical control. The tether, designed to be very slightly buoyant, has a net upward force of 0.025 N per meter of its length acting on it. There are 60.5 m of cable between points A and B.

Determine the horizontal and vertical forces which the vehicle must exert on the cable at B in order to maintain the configuration shown. Also, find the distance h. Assume that the tether between points A and B is entirely under water.
