Homework Statement
A flag of mass 2.5 kg is supported by a single rope as show in figure 13. a strong horizontal wind exerts a force of 12 N on the flag. Calculate the tension in the string?
Homework Equations
0=Fg-Tsinθ
0=12-Tcosθ
The Attempt at a Solution
I get the right answer when both the fnets = 0, but I don't get understand how in a situation like that that would be the case, isn't the the wind exerting force on the flag so it moves at an angle?
