    physics "tension"
    I have a Physics problem dealing with tension.
    I crow sits on a rope between 2 poles, the combined weight with crow and rope is 7.2N and the angle theta is 15degrees on both sides, what is the tension on the rope? HELP!

    7.2N divided by 2 sin(15)

    Think, the tension in the wire has to provide enough upwards force to counter the weight of the crow and wire.

    Does this help?
