Question

A rope of length L and mass M is hanging from a rigid support. The tension in the rope at a distance x from the rigid support is

Easy

A

$M g$
B

$(\frac{L - x}{L}) M g$
C

$(\frac{L}{L - x}) M g$
D

$\frac{x}{L} M g$

Solution

Mass per unit length of rope $= \frac{M}{L}$
$T_{x} = mass of rope of length (L - x) \times g = \frac{M}{L} (L - x) g$
