Question

Problem 63P

IP Holding a long rope by its upper end, you lower it onto a scale. The rope has a mass of 0.13 kg per meter of length, and is lowered onto the scale at the constant rate of 1.4 m/s. (a) Calculate the thrust exerted by the rope as it lands on the scale. (b) At the instant when the amount of rope at rest on the scale has a weight of 2.5 N, does the scale read 2.5 N, more than 2.5 N, or less than 2.5 N? Explain. (c) Check your' answer to part (b) by calculating the reading on the scale at this time.

Solution

Step 1 of 5

Here the objective is to first calculate the thrust exerted by the rope on the scale, as the rope is lowered at a known rate onto a scale while the upper end is holded. Then we have to check and calculate, the variation in the reading of the scale, as 2.5 N weighing rope is allowed to rest on the scale.
