Question

A uniform rope of length L, resting on a friction less horizontal surface is pulled at one end by a force F, What is the tension of the rope at a distance I from the end where the force is applied. ?

• A. $F(1-I/L)$
• B. $F(1+I/L)$
• C. $F/(1-I/L)$
• D. $F/(1+I/L)\left[A\right]$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $F(1-I/L)$

$a=\frac{F}{M}$

$M^{\prime }=\frac{M}{L}(L–I)----\left(1\right)$

$T=M^{\prime }\times \frac{F}{M}$

$T=(1-\frac{I}{L})F$
