A clothesline is tied between two poles, 8 m apart. The line is quite taut and has negligible sag. When a wet shirt with a mass of 0.8kg is hung at the middle of the line, the midpoint is pulled down 8 cm. What is the tension in the clothesline at this time?
This question is relatively easy and I know you use trig mainly for the triangle and solve for the tension. I worked it out and got 223 N for the tension. Can anyone confirm this please?
