Answer:

Explanation:

Let tension be T in each string . Let angle with horizontal be θ in the middle

The sum of vertical components of tension of two string will balance the weight

2Tsinθ = mg

2 x 20 sinθ = .18

sinθ = .18 / 40 = .0045

θ = .25783 degree

If sag be y

y / 70 = tan .25783

y = 70 x tan.25783

= .3150 m

= 31.50 cm .

A person on a cruise ship is doing laps on the promenade deck. On one portion of the track the person is moving north with a spe
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

T<u>he direction of motion</u> of the person relative to the water is <u>16.7° north of east.</u>

Why?

We can solve the problem by applying the Pitagorean Theorem, where the first speed (to the north) and the second speed (to the east) corresponds to two legs of the right triangle formed with them. (north and east directions are perpendicular each other)

We can calculate the angle that give the direction using the following formula:

Tan(\alpha)=\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed}\\\\Tan(\alpha)^{-1}=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}\\\\\alpha=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}

Now, substituting the given information we have:

alpha=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}

\alpha =Tan(\frac{3.6\frac{m}{s} }{12\frac{m}{s} })^{-1}\\\\\alpha =Tan(0.3)^{-1}=16.69\°(North-East)=16.7\°(North-East)

Hence, we have that <u>the direction of motion</u> of the person relative to the water is 16.7° north of east.

Have a nice day!
