Linear Force on Rope
Linear Force on Rope



Code: 1J30.25


Demo Title: Linear Forces on a Rope


Subject: Resolution of Forces


Description:
Demonstration of forces using a rope and a 1 kg mass. Rope is pulled on making the rope taught and straight. When the 1 kg mass is hung in the center it pulls the rope down and a force can not be applied to make the rope straight with the mass hanging from it.


Procedure:

  • Apply force by pulling on rope until rope is taught and straight.
  • Hang the 1 KG mass on the rope and comment on the force applied by mass.
  • Pull on rope again. Comment on how the 1 KG mass prevents the rope from being straightened out.
