Answer 1

Answer:

option C. for plato users

a 52–newton tension force pulls down on the branch, and a 52–newton tension force pulls up on the bird feeder.

Explanation:

got 100 on the test :)

Answer 2

If you are given a 52 Newton bird feeder tied to a cord, it means that it has a weight of 52 Newton. Since the bird feeder is not moving, we assume it to exert a force downward, that is its weight, and the cord that ties it, the force is upward. This upward force is the tension and is therefore equal to 52N.
