In the figure below, a spider is resting after starting to spin its web. The gravitational force on the spider is 0.161 N on the junction of the three strands of silk. The junction is supported by different tension forces in the two strands above it so that the resultant force on the junction is zero. The two sloping strands are perpendicular, and we have chosen the x and y directions to be along them. The tension Tx is 0.124 N. (a) Find the tension Ty. N (b) Find the angle the x axis makes with the horizontal. J (c) Find the angle the y axis makes with the horizontal. o

Explanation / Answer

because we assume that A is thhe angle between x-axis and horizental

so Tx*cos(A)=Ty*sin(A) (1)

Tx*sin(A)+Ty*cos(A)=0.161 (2)

to solve both eq we find that A=50.37 and put it in eq we find all ans.

a)Ty=0.1027N

b)angle that x-axis made with horizental =50.37degree

c)angle that y-axis made with horizental =39.63degree
