Question
Parts A, B, and E please!
![1. The big bird perches in the middle of a telephone wire. Its mass is 250 g. The wire makes an angle θ with respect to the horizontal. You can ignore the small birds for this problem.
a. Draw a careful free body diagram for the big bird.
b. Show that the tension in the line T is given by
\[
T = \frac{mg}{2 \sin \theta}
\]
c. Find \( T \) if \( \theta = 1^\circ \).
d. Find \( T \) if \( \theta = 30^\circ \).
e. Explain in words why a larger angle corresponds to a smaller tension in the wire.
The image shows a cartoon big bird sitting in the middle of a telephone wire, surrounded by small birds. The wire forms an angle \( \theta \) with the horizontal at both ends, depicted using right-angle triangles to emphasize the angle with respect to the horizontal line.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/f3b4aa68-1696-4204-931e-d52a90d9be65/68677666-c911-486c-9155-2fe319573145/shgsnz_thumbnail.png)
