An acrobat is walking on a tightrope of length L = 20.2 m attached to supports A and B at a distance of20.0 m from each other. The combined weight of the acrobat and his balancing pole is 800 N, and thefriction between his shoes and the rope is large enough to prevent him from slipping.Neglecting the weight of the rope and any elastic deformation, calculate the deflection y and thetension in portions AC and BC of the rope for values of x from 1 m to 19.0 m using 3-m increments.From the data obtained, a0 plot y vs x b) plot both Tension in AC and Tension in BC Vs x. Using theplots, determine (c) the maximum deflection of the rope, (d) the maximum tension in the rope, (e) thesmallest values of the tension in portions AC and BC of the rope.AB|C20.0 m

The diagram is given in the question, so we will use that to solve this problem.
