(a) A spider hangs motionless from a single vertical strand of spiderweb. Calculate the tension (in N) in the vertical spiderweb if the spider has a mass of
5.00
10-5 kg.
Tvertical =
N
(b) Now, the same spider sits motionless in the middle of a (nearly) horizontal strand of spiderweb, as shown in the figure below.
The strand sags at an angle of 10.0° below the horizontal. Calculate the tension (in N) in this (nearly) horizontal strand.
Tnew =
N
Compare this with the tension in the vertical strand that you found in part (a) (find their ratio).
Tnew
