Transcribed Image Text:**Question 10: Understanding Tension in a Hanging Rope**
How does the tension in a "real" rope (that is attached to the ceiling holding up a mass) vary from the top of the rope to the bottom of the rope?
A. The tension is greatest at the bottom
B. The tension is the same throughout
C. The tension is the greatest at the top

Transcribed Image Text:**Question 9:**
A weight-lifter attaches a heavy mass to the middle of a chain. He holds the ends of the chain in his hands. As he attempts to pull sideways, the chain becomes more horizontal but never achieves a perfectly horizontal orientation. How does the tension in the chain change as he makes the orientation more and more horizontal?
- A: The tension decreases
- B: The tension increases
- C: The tension is constant
- D: The tension will increase then it will decrease
Expert Solution

Step 1
“Since you have asked multiple question, we will solve the first question for you. If you want any specific question to be solved then please specify the question number or post only that question.”
In the following problem, we have a rope attached to the ceiling holding up a mass and we have to figure out the tension at the different position of the rope.
