A man on the wire singing "Man on a Wire" while practicing for his circus show has reached the center of the rope, creating a dip on the center angled at 63.2 degrees. If the mass of the man is 49.55 kg and the tension force that can be handled by the wire is 449.77N, would the wire break? Show the tension caused by the man hanging on the wire.
