QUESTION:

Nellie Newton hangs at rest from the ends of the rope as shown. How does the reading on the scale compare with her weight?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

Nellie is in equilibrium because Nellie hangs at rest, that is net force equals zero. Nellie is holding each side of rope vertically. It means that her weight is distributed equally to each rope. It can be seen on the image that the scale is above her left hand, so, the tension in the left side of the rope is equal to the half of Nellie’s weight.
