Section 10.2 Problem 11 involves knowledge of physics I have forgotten. How
are we supposed to calculate this?Thanks for your time.
A horizontal clothesline is tied between 2 poles, 10 meters apart. When a mass of 2 kilograms is tied to the middle of the clothesline, it sags a distance of 1 meters. What is the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline? NOTE: Use g=9.8m/s^2 for the gravitational acceleration.
As far as the physics you have forgotten, it would probably be good for your career as an engineer to un-forget this stuff, as physics is one foundation of the things you will need to know to do a good job as an engineer. Here are a bunch of hints:
