5.56 .. An adventurous archaeologist crosses between two rock
cliffs by slowly going hand over hand along a rope stretched between
the cliffs. He stops to rest at the middle of the rope (Fig. P5.56).
The rope will break if the tension in it exceeds 2.50 * 10 4 N, and
our heros mass is 90.0 kg. (a) If the angle u is 10.0, find the
tension in the rope. (b) What is the smallest value the angle u can
have if the rope is not to break?
