Figure 2 shows a washing line suspended at either end by vertical rigid poles. A jacket of mass 0.7 kg is suspended in equilibrium part of the way along the line. The sections of the washing line on either side of the jacket make angles of \(35 ^ { \circ }\) and \(40 ^ { \circ }\) with the horizontal.
- Find the tension in the washing line on each side of the jacket.
- Explain why, in practice, the angles are likely to be very similar in value.
