A trapeze artist,with swing,weighs 800 N;he is being held to one side by his partner so that the swing ropes make an angle of 30.0 $\degree$ with the vertical.In such a condition of static equilibrium,what is the tension in the rope?
A)924 N
B)400 N
C)196 N
D)461 N

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tension in the rope can be calculated using the formula T = W / cos(θ), where W is the weight (800 N) and θ is the angle (30 degrees). T = 800 / cos(30) = 800 / (√3/2) = 800 * 2/√3 ≈ 924 N.
