A man on the wire singing "Man on a Wire" while practicing for his circus show has reached the center of the rope, creating a dip on the center angled at (70.63) degrees. If the mass of the man is (63.54)kg and the tension force that can be handled by the wire is (515.41)N, would the wire break? Show the tension caused by the man hanging on the wire.
