Chapter 6, Problem 30PCE
BIO Spiderweb Forces An orb-weaver spider sits in her web that is supported by three radial strands as shown in Figure 6-47. Assume that only the radial strands contribute to supporting the weight of the spider If the mass of the spider is 5.2 × 10−4 and the radial strands are all under the same tension, find the magnitude of the tension, T.
