In the figure, is the tension in the rope between the
ceiling and Superhero the same as the tension in the
rope between Superhero and Trusty Sidekick?
A. Jimmy: "Yes, of course it is the same. It's a single rope with a
single tension force on both ends. Booyah!"
B. Emmy: "I think they are different. The tension in the space
between Superhero and Trusty Sidekick only has to hold up Trusty
Sidekick, but the tension above Superhero has to hold up both
Superhero and Trusty Sidekick.
C. Timmy: "Wouldn't your, 'both ends' be the end on the ceiling and
the end at Trusty Sidekick? How can you have a different 'both
ends' for the space between Superhero and Trusty Sidekick?
Wouldn't that only work if they had two different ropes? Or if the
rope breaks? The rope clearly holds, so the tension force must be
the same everywhere along the rope.

unties the rope from the tree, and gives the end to her friend Isabel, who also pulls with a
of 355 N. Will the rope break when Kathryn and Isabel both pull? Explain your answer.
A fisherman has caught a very large, 5.0 kg fish from a dock that is 2.0 m above the water. He is using lightweight fishing line that will break under a tension of 54 N or more. He is eager to get the fish to the dock in the shortest possible time. If the fish is at rest at the water’s surface, what’s the least amount of time in which the fisherman can raise the fish to the dock without losing it?
