Whatever you think the answer is, go with it. Believe that you have the answer correct, and you will.
Explanation:
Believe in yourself.
The tension on each segment of the clothesline is : 110 N
<u>Given data : </u>
mass of object = 100 n = 10 kg
Horizontal distance of clothesline = 4 m
middle of clothesline sag s by : 1m
<h3 /><h3>Determine the tension on each segment of clothesline</h3>
<u>First step</u> : calculate the horizontal angle made by the sagging
β = arctan ( 1 m / 2m ) ----- ( 1 )
= arctan ( 0.5 )
≈ 26.57°
Note : Tension in th y axis ( Ty ) = Tsinβ
Therefore :
Tension on each segment can be calculated using the formula below
2Tsinβ - mg = 0
solve for T
T = mg / 2sinβ
= ( 10 * 9.8 ) / 2 * sin 26.57°
= 98 / 0.89
= 110 N
Hence we can conclude that the tension on each segment of the clothesline is : 110 N
