The photograph shows two U.S. Coast Guard icebreakers in an ice field, and a simple model for an ice breaking operation. If the coefficients of static and kinetic friction for contact between the ship's bow and ice are 0.08 and 0.06, respectively, and if the ship produces a thrust of 10^6 lb, determine the normal and friction forces acting on each side of the ship's bow as it moves through the ice field with constant velocity. Assume the ship makes contact with the ice only on its bow, and neglect all forces between the ship's hull and water except for the thrust.
