Q. A block of mass m kg is hanging from the ceiling through a heavy rope of certain mass x kg. The block is at rest. You are a curious person and want to study forces by considering the rope as system, then identify the sources of external force on rope:

A rope of mass M and length L is hanging from a ceiling of a room. Assume that the mass is uniformly distributed along the length of the rope, find the tension in it at point P(as shown in figure) which is $\frac{L}{3}$ units away from the top end of the rope?
