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

Why might some 20-year-olds have difficulty investing $360 per month for retirement?
jolli1 [7]
Because they need the money for other necessities such as paying rent, insurance, living expenses, transportation, and even paying for college and books for college. and it’s likely they are making minimum wage if they have a job so it is hard to keep up and pay that much per month
