Chapter 4, Problem 13SP
An essentially weightless rope is slung over a frictionless lightweight pulley that is attached to a hook in the ceiling. An object weighing 500 N is hung from one end, and a student holds the other end, keeping the system in equilibrium. What force must she pull with? In what direction? What is the value of the tension in the rope?

In one study, they found that an important characteristic of a rope is its “compliance”— that is, how easily the rope, while under tension, can be flexed.
