A climber whose mass is 57 kg hangs motionless from a rope. What is the tension in the rope?
tension = N
Later, a different climber whose mass is 96.9 kg hangs from the same rope. Now what is the tension in the rope?
tension = N
Compare the physical state of the rope when it supports the heavier climber to the state of the rope when it supports the lighter climber. Which statements about the physical state of the rope are true? Check all that apply.
The rope is slightly longer when it supports the heavier climber than when it supports the lighter climber.Because the same rope is used, the tension in the rope must be the same in both cases.The interatomic bonds in the rope are stretched more when the rope supports the heavier climber than when the rope supports the lighter climber.
