What are the tensions in the rope segments


A tugboat tows a ship at a constant velocity. The tow harness consists of a single tow cable attached to the tugboat at point A that splits at point B and attaches to the ship at points C and D. The two rope segments BC and BD angle away from the center of the ship at angles of Φ=25.0° and θ=22.0°, respectively. The tugboat pulls with a force of 22250N. What are the tensions TBC and TBD in the rope segments BC and BD?
