Physics Problem: Tension in a Rope with Superheroes
Offered By: Dot Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a physics problem involving tension in a rope with superheroes in this 11-minute video from Dot Physics. Analyze a scenario where Superhero and Trusty Sidekick hang motionless from a rope, with given masses of 90.0 kg and 55.0 kg respectively. Learn how to draw a free-body diagram showing all forces acting on the characters and the rope. Calculate the tension in the rope above Superhero and between Superhero and Trusty Sidekick. Understand how to indicate the system of interest used to solve each part of the problem on the free-body diagram. This video is part of a comprehensive playlist covering introductory algebra-based physics problems, based on the free OpenStax College Physics textbook.
