I've had a bit of a problem with the following question. I have the answer I did it properly except for one part i can't comprehend.
A steel wire 40m long is suspended between two fixed points 20m apart. A force of 375N pulls the wire down at a point 15m from one end of the wire. State the tension in each part of the wire.
Ok I know the answer but I don't understand why one of them is 0N i mean can someone explain it very simply and clearly...Please
