Shape of wave function (probability distribution) of a single photon

There's no cop out, as you describe it. The Schrodinger equation is manifestly not covariant. Hence QM is a non-relativistic theory...

You could define it as 20kg if you want, but then the force would be given by ##F = T/2##.

A single photon doesn't have a position-space wave-function. Basic QM is explicitly non-relativistic, so does not describe light.

Just to note that is the definition of tension. It's the force transmitted; not twice the force transmitted!

There's definitely no need to calculate the normal constraining force. We already know the acceleration.
