The free-body diagram of the forces acting on the flag is in the picture in attachment.

We have: the weight, downward, with magnitude
W=mg = (2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=24.5 N
the force of the wind F, acting horizontally, with intensity
F=12 N
and the tension T of the rope. To write the conditions of equilibrium, we must decompose T on both x- and y-axis (x-axis is taken horizontally whil y-axis is taken vertically):
T \cos \alpha -F=0
T \sin \alpha -W=
By dividing the second equation by the first one, we get
\tan \alpha =  \frac{W}{F}= \frac{24.5 N}{12 N}=2.04
From which we find
\alpha = 63.8 ^{\circ}
which is the angle of the rope with respect to the horizontal.

By replacing this value into the first equation, we can also find the tension of the rope:
T= \frac{F}{\cos \alpha}= \frac{12 N}{\cos 63.8^{\circ}}=27.2 N

The function of a cell depends primarily on its ?
Schach [20]
<span>Organelles which are very important in giving nutrients. During cellular respiration, the food molecules such as glucose, are oxidized to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) and trapped in ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) form for further us of cell’s activities. ATP’s are formed at mitochondria – the cell’s powerhouse. This type of organelle takes and breaks nutrients absorbed by the cell and creates energy afterward. The energy from ATP is then used by the body in kinetic activities like running & walking or involuntary activities like breathing, blood circulation, stimulus-responding, etc.</span>
