Homework Statement
[/B]
A rope with uniform mass distribution is attached to a spaceship. At the end of this rope, there is a mass, m. The length of the rope - l.
Point A - where the rope is attached to a spaceship
Point B - in the middle of the rope.
The whole system moves with the same acceleration. I understand there is no gravity.
I am supposed to find a ratio T_A/T_B.
Tension - T
2. The attempt at a solution
I thought it would be simple: point B is in the middle of the rope and so the ratio is:
1 over 1/2.
