Question
A $60 \mathrm{~kg}$ circus performer is climbing up a rope (of negligible mass) with an acceleration of $1.2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$. (a) Draw a free-body diagram for the performer. (b) What is the tension in the rope?
Step 1
The performer is represented as a box. The force of gravity (Fg) is acting downwards and the tension in the rope (T) is acting upwards. Show more…
