(a) A spider hangs motionless from a single vertical strand of spiderweb. Calculate the tension (in N) in the vertical spiderweb if the spider has a mass of 9.00×10−5 kg. Tvertical = N (b) Now, the same spider sits motionless in the middle of a (nearly) horizontal strand of spiderweb, as shown in the figure below. The strand sags at an angle of 13.0∘ below the horizontal. Calculate the tension (in N) in this (nearly) horizontal strand. Tnew = N Compare this with the tension in the vertical strand that you found in part (a) (find their ratio). Tnew Tvertical =

(a) Calculate the tension (in N) in a vertical strand of spiderweb if a spider of mass 8.00×10−5 kg hangs motionless on it. N (b) Calculate the tension (in N) in a horizontal strand of spiderweb if the same spider sits motionless in the middle of it much like the tightrope walker in the figure. The strand sags at an angle of 11.0∘ below the horizontal. N Compare this with the tension in the vertical strand (find their ratio). tension in horizontal strand tension in horizontal strand =
