Bob traverses a chasm by stringing a rope between a tree on one side of the chasm and a tree on the opposite side, 25 m away, Fig. 4–65. Assume the rope can provide a tension force of up to 29 kN before breaking, and use a "safety factor" of 10 (that is, the rope should only be required to undergo a tension force of 2.9 kN). (a) If Bob's mass is 72.0 kg, determine the distance x that the rope must sag at a point halfway across if it is to be within its recommended safety range. (b) If the rope sags by only one- fourth the distance found in (a), determine the tension force in the rope. Will the rope break? FIGURE 4–65 Problem 74.
