4. A spider of mass 7.00 x 10 kg hangs motionless from its spiderweb. (a) Suppose the spider hangs from a vertical strand of spider silk. What is the tension in the strand? (b) Suppose the spider hangs from the middle of a horizontal strand of spider silk (as in the image below), such that the strand sags at an angle of 12.0° below the horizontal on either side. In this case, the magnitude of the tension on the left side of the silk should be equal to the magnitude of the tension on the right side. What is the magnitude of the tension on either side? THEE

4. A spider of mass 7.00 x 10 kg hangs motionless from its spiderweb.
(a) Suppose the spider hangs from a vertical strand of spider silk. What is the tension in the
strand?
(b) Suppose the spider hangs from the middle of a horizontal strand of spider silk (as in the image
below), such that the strand sags at an angle of 12.0" below the horizontal on either side. In this
case, the magnitude of the tension on the left side of the silk should be equal to the magnitude
of the tension on the right side. What is the magnitude of the tension on either side?
