Transcribed Image Text:

A tightrope is connected at each end to a vertical tree trunk at a height of 1.57 meter above the ground. The two trees are located a distance 5.00 meters apart. At the midpoint of the tightrope, a 1.76 meter tall tightrope walker stands stationary on the rope, causing the rope to sag at an angle of 0 11.8. The tightrope walker has a mass of 68.2 kg and you can assume that the mass of the tightrope is negligible. Find the tension in the tightrope. [Warning: this problem may contain more information than is necessary to answer the question.] Image size: S M L Max A tightrope is connected at each end to a vertical tree trunk at a height of 1.57 meter above the ground.
