I'm trying to figure out what it says in my book. Here is the link of the picture. http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/...oads/7D0D3CE4-A11E-4F0F-A2A5-836D03945AE5.jpg Could someone explain the part where it says "Otherwise, there would be a net tension force acting on the sections, and they would consequently suffer an infinite acceleration." Why does it necessarily have to be infinite? The only reason why I see it should be infinite is if the string is inextensible (unbreakable and maximally stretched) and if it so happened to not be straight it must have some infinite force so to not make it straight. Is my logic correct?http://[URL=http://s941.photobucket.com/user/markangela/media/Mobile%20Uploads/7D0D3CE4-A11E-4F0F-A2A5-836D03945AE5.jpg.html][PLAIN]http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad259/markangela/Mobile%20Uploads/7D0D3CE4-A11E-4F0F-A2A5-836D03945AE5.jpg
