Homework Statement
a) If the co efficent of static friction between a table and a uniform massive rope is Us, what fraction of the rope can hang over the edge of the table without the rope sliding?
Homework Equations
F=mg
The Attempt at a Solution
The largest fraction of the rope able to overhang would be 1/2?, how would you go about proving that mathematically?
The force on the rope hanging down would be F=m*9.81
where to go from here?
