Answer:
4.9 x 10⁻⁴N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the vertical strand of spiderweb = 5 x 10⁻⁵kg
Unknown:
Tension in the vertical strand = ?
Solution:
The tension is the vertical strand will be the weight of the strand.
Weight of strand = mg
m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
Tension in the vertical strand = 5 x 10⁻⁵kg x 9.8m/s²
Tension in the vertical strand = 4.9 x 10⁻⁴N
