The tightrope walker gets tired and decides to stop for a rest. During this rest period, she is in translational equilibrium. She stops at middle of the rope and finds that both sides of the rope make an angle of è = 10.00° with the horizontal. If the mass of the tightrope walker is 60 kg, what is the tension in the rope?
