A 14.0 m cord of negligible mass is stretched horizontally between two supports. When a rock climber of weight 900 N hangs from the cord's midpoint, that midpoint sags by 0.85 m. What then is the tension in the cord?

To find the tension in the cord when a rock climber hangs from its midpoint, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Setup The cord is stretched horizontally between two supports, and when the climber hangs from the midpoint, the cord sags. The weight of the climber creates a downward force of 900 N at the midpoint. ### Step 2: Analyze the Forces At the midpoint where the climber hangs, the tension in the cord creates two components: a vertical component that balances the weight of the climber and a horizontal component that remains constant along the length of the cord. ...

A cord with negligible mass is wrapped around a pulley that is a uniform disk of mass 5.00 kg and radius 0.300 m and that can rotate without friction about its central axis. A 1.0 kg bucket is attached at the free end of the cord hanging down from the pulley and then released at time t = 0. The cord begins to unwrap from the pulley as the bucket descends. At t = 5.00 s, through how many rotations has the pulley turned (the bucket is still descending)?

AB is a vertically suspended elastic cord of negligible mass and length L. Its force constant is k=(4mg)/L . There is a massless platform attached to the lower end of the cord.
