Question

Shyanne (60 kg) has to walk across a single rope bridge to cross a river. When she's at the exact middle point, the rope bridge is deflected at an angle of 15 degrees from the horizontal. What is the tension in the bridge?

consider on half of the rope, it is holding half the weight.

sin15=30g/tension

Tension=30*9.8/sin15
