A massless chord. Give complete solutuon
15.] A massless chord is initially positioned in a horizontal manner with two poles supporting its ends. A
man then hangs at the center of the chord thus bending it by 5.0° with respect to its initial horizontal
position. The bent chord forms two sides of an isosceles triangle with the other side being the line
segment of its original position; the two equal angles of the triangle have a value of 5.0°. If the
weight of the man is 485 N, what is resulting tension associated with the chord?
