You having a mass of 100kg hold one end of an ideal vine (infinitely strong, completely flexible, but having zero mass). The vine runs horizontally to the edge of a cliff, then vertically to where your friend (mass 50kg) is hanging on, above a pack of hungry Velociraptors. A sudden sleet storm has removed all friction, assuming that you can hang on, what is your acceleration towards the end of the cliff?
2.
Fnet=ma
Fnet1=Fg1 - Ft
Fnet2=Fg2 - Fn + Ft
3. I drew the picture and tried to rearrange equations and use substitution, but had troubles and can't get a reasonable answer. i know 100kg person has Fg2 of 980N down and Fn of 980N up. the 50kg person has a Fg1 of 490N down, but i can't get the Force of tension in the rope (Ft)
