$T=40.1KN$

We know that: $\Sigma F_x=\frac{dm_A}{dt}v_{A_x}+\frac{dm_B}{dt}vB_x$ $\implies Tcos60=\frac{dm_A}{dt}v_{A_x}+\frac{dm_B}{dt}vB_x$ $\implies Tcos60=\rho_w Qvcos30+\rho_wQvcos45$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $Tcos60=(1020)(0.25)(50)cos30+(1020)(0.25)(50)cos 45$ This simplifies to: $T=40.1KN$
