A ball of mass m and weight mg is held at rest by two strings. One string makes an angle θ with the vertical. The other is horizontal. What is the tension in the horizontal string?.

Respuesta :

Answer:

W = M g          weight of ball

T cos θ  = W         balancing vertical forces

T sin θ = F            balancing horizontal forces

tan θ = F / W        dividing equations

F = W tan θ          when θ equals zero F equals zero
