Concept explainers
The tension in the net, which is assumed horizontal and attached at the topof the pole.
Answer to Problem 26P
Solution:
Tension in the net is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Tension in the wire,
Formula used:
For equilibrium:
Here, m is the mass and a is the acceleration .
Calculation:
The angle which the wires make with the ground is
The horizontal component of the tension in the wire is:
Each side of the equilateral triangle makes an angle of
with the tension force:
Conclusion:
Thus,the tension in the net is
