this is the correct figure
and the ans is mg/2tantheta
when a heavy rope is hanging from its supports as shown in figure
what is the tension in the middle of the string
@philip i gave u the wrong angle sry
@prateek ur ans is correct can u post the method
if we consider the right portion of the wire....
the vertical component of tension at the point where the string is hanged by the wire is Tsinθ and the horizontal component is Tcosθ(towards right).....
where T=tension on the wire due to wall.....
NOW,
Let, the tension at the middle point of wire will be T'....
and the direction of tension will be horizontal towards left....
since it is equilibrium....
Tsinθ=mg/2
Tcosθ=T'
Solving the two eqn we can calculate T'.....
check this out.....
is this not to be pinked....
guys many of my posts are not been pinked though they r useful....
