Answer:

Ft = 50.25 N

Explanation:

As you can see in the attached diagram, the angle θ is given by

tanθ = opp/adj

The opposite is the sag of distance 2 m and the adjacent is the half of the horizontal clothesline that is 20 m.

tanθ = 2/10

θ = tan⁻¹(2/10)

θ = 11.30°

There are two forces along the y axis, one is the F = mg acting downwards and the other is the Ftsinθ component of tension force in the string.

The sum of forces along y-axis is

5Ftsin(11.30) - mg = 0

Ft = mg/5sin(11.30)

Ft = 5*9.8/5sin(11.30)

Ft = 9.8/0.195

Ft = 50.25 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline is 50.25 N.

What is a major contributor of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

a. burning of fossil fuel

Explanation:

Greenhouse effect is the trapping of the sun infrared rays in the outermost layer of the earths atmosphere due to the accumulation of some harmful gasses. This gases depletes the ozone layer

The major contributor of greenhouse gases is the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxides are released into the atmosphere and leads to global warming and climatic changes per time
