Answer:
The magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline is 21.32 N.
Explanation:
Given that,
Distance = 14 m
Mass = 4 kg
Height = 3 m
We need to calculate the angle made with vertical mass
[tex]\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{7}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\theta=66.80^{\circ}[/tex]
We need to calculate the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline
Using formula of tension
[tex]2T\sin\theta-mg=0[/tex]
Put the value into the formula
[tex]T=\dfrac{4\times9.8}{2\sin66.80}[/tex]
[tex]T=21.32\ N[/tex]
Hence, The magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline is 21.32 N.
