Physics question: Background information this problem concerns the concept of tension in a rope. Co spider a rope subjected to a pulling force on its two ends. The rope is stationary. An arbitrary point P divides the rope into a left-hand segment L and a right-hand segment R.
PART 1: the actual question: now imagine two points, Q and P , that divide the rope into segments L, M, and R. The rope remains stationary. Assume that segments L exerts a force magnitude FLM on segment M. What is the magnitude FRM of the force exerted by segment R on segment M?
PART 2
now consider a rope that, unlike those usually studied in mechanics problem, actually has a mass m. The tension at the right end of this rope is T2 and that at the left end is T1 . The rope has an acceleration a rope to the right. Complete the following equation for the force on the section of the rope of inertia m, taking the positive direction to be to the right . Make sure the answers are in terms of T1, T2, and constant such as g
