Question

Scientists have studied how snakes grip and climb ropes. In one study, they found that an important characteristic of a rope is its "compliance"--that is, how easily the rope, while under tension, can be flexed. (Figure 1) shows how scientists measured a rope's compliance by attaching it to two strings, each supporting an identical mass m. The lower part of the rope is held under tension by a spring (not shown). The strings contort the rope so that its middle section lies at angle θ.

.
a)For θ = 45 ∘ and m = 300 g, what is the tension T1 in the upper part of the rope?
 
For θ = 45 ∘ and m = 300 g, what is the tension T2 in the middle part of the rope?)
