Question
USE THE SAME DATA AS GIVEN IN THE PICTURE, PLEASE!!!!! HELP:)
Calculate the tension in a vertical strand of spiderweb if a spider of mass 5.00 x 10-5 kg hangs motionless on it. N Calculate the tension in a horizontal strand of spiderweb if the same spider sits motionless in the middle of it much like the tightrope walker in Figure 4.13. The strand sags at an angle o f 15.0 degree below the horizontal. N Compare this with the tension in the vertical strand (find their ratio). (tension in horizontal strand/tension in vertical strand) Figure 4.13
Explanation / Answer
Answer A)
mass = 5x10^-5 kg
dowanward force = mass x acceleratio due to gravity -------(g=9.8m/s^2)
