A sailor is being rescued using a boatswain's chair that is suspended from a pulley that can roll freely on the support cable ACB and is pulled at a constant speed by cable CD. Knowing that $\\alpha=\\var{a}^\\circ$ and $\\beta=\\var{b}^\\circ$ and that the combined weight of the boatswain's chair and the sailor is $\\var{W}\\,\\text{N}$, determine the tension (in N)
