A gymnast of mass 70.0 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.

Respuesta :

Answer:

T = 686.7N

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law in this case there is no acceleration,

      ∑ F = ma

      T -W = 0

The gymnast's weight is

     W = mg

We clear and calculate the tension

     T = mg

     T = 70 9.81

     T = 686.7N
