Question

A ball weighing 50N is pulled back by a rope to an angle of 20 degrees (the rope that the ball hangs from). Find the tension in the pulling rope.
The tension in the pulling rope can be calculated using the equation T = mgsinθ, where m is the mass of the ball, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and θ is the angle of the rope.

T = (50N)(9.8m/s2)(sin20°)

T = 49.1N
