Click For Summary
To solve for the tension in the rope when a 50kg mass is dropped from a height of 100m, additional parameters such as the acceleration due to gravity and the dynamics of the fall are necessary. Key equations include those for gravitational force and tension, typically involving mass, gravity, and the length of the rope. The discussion emphasizes the need for understanding the forces acting on the mass during its fall and the point at which the rope becomes taut. Clarifying these parameters will allow for a complete analysis of the tension in the rope. The problem requires a comprehensive approach to dynamics and forces to derive a solution.

Homework Statement


An object of 50kg mass is attached to a rope of 50m length with a hook. The rope is hooked at the other end to a fixed point on a helicopter.
The object is dropped from a height of 100m.
What will be the tension on rope?
No other parameters are available. What are the other parameters required to solve the problem and what are the equations to be used?
