Answer:

Explanation:

n = 3.00e8/2.22e8 = 1.35

1.00sin24.5 = 1.35sinθ

θ = 17.9°

(a) Calculate the tension in a vertical strand of spiderweb if a spider of mass 5.00 ✕ 10-5 kg hangs motionless on it.
sertanlavr [38]

a)The tension in the vertical strand will be 0.00049 N.

b))The tension in the horizontal strand will be 0.001284 N.

c)The ratio of tension in the horizontal strand to the tension in the vertical strand will be  2.62.

<h3>What is tension force?</h3>

The tension force is described as the force transferred through a rope, string, or wire as it is pulled by opposing forces.

Given data;

Mass of spiderweb = 5.00 ✕ 10⁻⁵ kg

The tension in a horizontal strand of a spiderweb, Tₓ

The tension in a  vertical strand of a spiderweb, Tₐ

The angle at which the strand sags, Θ = 10.0°

R is the ratio of  tension in the horizontal strand to the tension in the vertical strand

a)

From the FBD,

The tension  in the vertical strand is equal to the weight of the spider;

Tₐ = W

Tₐ = mg

Tₐ= 5 x 10⁻⁵ kg x 9.8 m / s²

Tₐ= 0.00049 N.

(b)

The super's total vertical forces are zero since it is not moving the value of the tension in the horizontal strand;

Tₓ = mg/( 2sinΘ)

Tₓ = 5 x 10⁻⁵ kg x 9.8 m /s² / ( 2 sin 11° )

Tₓ= 0.001284 N.

c)

R is the tension in the vertical strand divided by the tension in the horizontal strand.

R= Tₐ / Tₓ

R= 0.001284 N / 0.00049 N

R= 2.62

Hence, the tension in a vertical strand of a spiderweb, the tension in a horizontal strand of a spiderweb, and the ratio of tension in the horizontal strand to the tension in the vertical strand will be 0.00049 N, 0.001284 N, and 2.62 respectively.
