Question

This problem introduces the concept of tension. The example is a rope, oriented vertically, that is being pulled from both ends. (Figure 1) Let Fu and Fd(with u for up and d for down) represent the magnitude of the forces acting on the top and bottom of the rope, respectively.

Part A

By the definition of tension, which of the following force magnitudes could correctly be taken as the tension at location 1?

Fu, the magnitude of the upward contact force on a F1d, the magnitude of the force on a by b Fd, the magnitude of the downward contact force on c F1u, the magnitude of the force on b by a F2d, the magnitude of the force on b by c F2u, the magnitude of the force on c by b

Explanation / Answer

F1d and F1u
