Figure 1 shows a floating oceanographic buoy anchored in a tidal estuary.
The buoy is held in place by two horizontal mooring cables.
The tension, T1T_1T1, in the first cable has a magnitude of 12 kN12\text{ kN}12 kN. The tension, T2T_2T2, in the second cable has a magnitude of 16 kN16\text{ kN}16 kN.
The cables are at right angles to each other.
Draw a scale vector diagram and use it to determine the magnitude of the resultant force that the mooring cables exert on the buoy.
