Question
An adventurous archaeologist crosses between two rock cliffs by slowly going hand over hand along a rope stretched between the cliffs. He stops to rest at the middle of the rope. The rope will break if the tension in it exceeds 3.50×104 N. Our hero’s mass is 70.0 kg
Part A
If the angle θ is 13.0 degrees, find the tension in the rope.
Express your answer in newtons
Part B
What is the smallest value the angle θ can have if the rope is not to break?
Express your answer in degrees.
