Answer:
The tension is [tex] T= 6553.811\ N [/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the tightrope walker is m = 70 kg
The angle of the rope with the horizontal is [tex]\theta = 3^ o[/tex]
Generally the net force on the vertical axis at equilibrium is mathematically represented as
[tex]2 T si n (\theta ) - mg = 0[/tex]
=> [tex]2 T sin (3 ) - 70 * 9.8 = 0[/tex]
=> [tex] 0.1046719T - 686 = 0[/tex]
=> [tex] 0.1046719T = 686 [/tex]
=> [tex] T= 6553.811\ N [/tex]
