To solve this problem we will apply the considerations of equilibrium on a body, we will decompose the tensions into their respective components and apply the sum of forces and solving equations for the given system.
According to the graph, the sum of the horizontal components would be



The sum of the vertical components is





Therefore the net force on the new vine is 366.2N
Answer:
As b ∝ (L/r²) and
the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years
and
the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years
hence,
the Sun appear brighter in the sky
Explanation:
The brightness (b) is directly proportional to the Luminosity of the star (L) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the star and the observer (r).
thus, mathematically,
b ∝ (L/r²)
now,
given
L for sirius is 23 times more than the sun i.e 23L
now,
the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years
and
the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years
thus,
using the the relation between conclude that the value of brightness for the Sirius comes very very low as compared to the value for brightness for the Sun.
hence, the sun appears brighter
