2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you calculate the tension in a cable supporting a mass at an angle?
Back
Tension can be calculated using the formula T = (mg) / (2 * cos(θ)), where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and θ is the angle.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the role of angles in tension calculations?
Back
Angles affect the distribution of forces; as the angle increases, the tension in the cable also increases for a given mass.
