Question

Constants Part A A gymnast of mass 61.0 kg hangs from a vertical rope attached to the ceiling. You can ignore the weight of the rope and assume that the rope does not stretch. Use the value 9.81m/s2 for the acceleration of gravity Calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast hangs motionless on the rope. Express your answer in newtons. View Available Hint(s) Submit PartB Calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast climbs the rope at a constant rate. Express your answer in newtons. View Available Hint(s) Submit

Explanation / Answer

A) When the gymnast hangs motionless tension in the string is
T = mg
= (61.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)
= 598.41 N
B) When the gymnast climbs the rope at a constant rate tension in the string is
T = mg
= (61.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)
= 598.41 N
