  1. depends on the pretension of the clothes line

    the horizontal force created by the sheet is .8*9.81*cos(3deg)=7.837 N

    So you add this to the pretension on one side of the sheet and subtract it from the other.

    3 deg to horizontal means that this clothesline is spinning quite fast, so do mean 3 deg to the vertical?
