Question

A gymnast with mass 50 kg suspenD's Herself from lower end of a rope. the upper end of the Rope is attached to the ceiling. what is the tension at the top of the rope?

Answer 1

Tension at the top of rope is 490 N

Explanation:

• Tension is the force in any string when attached to any mass from another end

Given, mass of gymnast = 50 kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m s⁻²

weight of the body = m g

                                = 50 * 9.8

                                = 490 N

Weight of any body always acts downward

Tension acting in any string is always opposite to the weight of body to maintain the equilibrium

Hence tension in the rope = weight of the body

Tension = 490 N
