Answer:
light doesn't need a medium through which to travel because the speed of light is experimentally constant
Answer:multiplying will give us 7 significant figures and addition will give us 3 significant figures
Explanation:
After multiplying the two numbers they resulting value will give a value in its 4 decimal places because both given values are in 2 decimal places. The 4 dp is gotten by the addition of the decimal places of both given numbers (2+2) and
The result of its addition will give us a value in its 1dp and 3 significant figures since the addition of 23.68 and 4.12 will give us 27.8
The free-body diagram of the forces acting on the flag is in the picture in attachment.
We have: the weight, downward, with magnitude

the force of the wind F, acting horizontally, with intensity

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):


By dividing the second equation by the first one, we get

From which we find

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:
