Line Clothesline
A 0.54 kg sheet hangs from a massless clothesline. The line on either side of the sheet makes an angle of 3.5°?
A 0.54 kg sheet hangs from a massless clothesline. The line on either side of the sheet makes an angle of 3.5° with the horizontal. Calculate the tension in the clothesline on either side of the sheet.
______N
Why is the tension so much greater than the weight of the sheet?
Lets call gravity 10 m/s^2
m x g = weight N = 5.4 N
because the line is equal angles the tension is split into 2
so you have 5.4/2 = 2.7N each side of sheet.
The angle = 3.5 degrees
So 2.7/sin(3.5) = 44.227 N
